"Columbina" Dance Costume

SOLD
This dance costume for a "masked ball" was inspired by the commedia dell'arte character "Columbina", sweetheart of Harlequin. It is reminiscent of costumes from the ballets "Carnaval", "Harlequinade" and the clockwork dolls from "The Nutcracker".

Just as Harlequin's, this costume has a vividly coloured bodice and skirt which effect a blaze of colour during fast movement. The Renaissance styled sleeves hark back to her 16th century origins in Italian comedy.

Due to the styling of the sleeves it is recommended that this costume is made-to-measure.
This design can be adapted to suit a tutu.
