Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Theatrical Ballet
A Collection of Theatrical Ballet and Stage Costumes - A group of theatrical dance costumes dating from the late 20th century, constructed primarily from synthetic satins and nylon tulles. The lot features a classical bell-style tutu with a pink synthetic satin bodice, featuring a central white panel decorated with scrollwork embroidery, faux-fur trim, and faux-pearl accents. The stiffened white tulle skirt is finished with four decorative pink lace petal panels embellished with pink sequins. The collection also includes a bright pink corset-style bodice with thin shoulder straps, featuring silver-tone vine embroidery accented with iridescent sequins and beads, edged with scalloped white lace trim. Further items include a dark burgundy tiered skirt of floral lace and mesh, two tiered tulle tutus in forest green and emerald green, and a white and red bodice section with red heart-shaped scalloped trim. Various additional fragments of black and white tulle and mesh are also present. The garments appear to be structured with internal boning where appropriate for stage use.
