Photo of Ashleigh Cecchetti International Ballet Competition 2011
Here is Ashleigh on stage at Manchester looking beautiful.
Tutu has a stretch velvet bodice and overskirt with cream and burgundy (hand dyed as I couldn't find any) net. There is a layer of fine cream net with gold glitter swirls on it, under the top layer. Trim is beautiful bullion and embroidered edging from a vintage sari I was lucky enough to find on ebay, I bought it with nothing special in mind to make from it, just before Ashkeigh came enquiring about a tutu. I also sprinkled a good number if Swarovski crystals on it too.
Congratulations Ash and thanks for the photo.

Learn to make tutus!
In case anyone is interested, Suzanne Dieckmann from " Tutus that Dance" is running a tutu seminar in Las Vegas for the last two weeks in August. I went last year and had a great time, met some lovely people and learnt heaps. I am off again this year and I know she could squeeze in a couple more students. I will be there teaching how to make and decorate stretch tutus, also how to make beaded tiaras. Suzanne will be doing basic and advanced tutu building, as well as sections on design, men's tunics, shaping and tacking, shaoed headdresses.......in fact everything you could want to know! For details check her website www.tutusthatdance.com
