Designing is something that must elicit the creativity within you for it to work perfectly.
Start With The Head
Buns are the best way to go for ballet attire. Pull up the hair. Make use of clips to secure stray hairs in place. Also, put some strong gel to ensure that it will remain unruffled all throughout your performance. This is really important as to keep the focus on your dancing and your other accessories.
Leotard
Check for holes in your leotard. Make sure that everything is clean. Sew up leotard pants or at least get a good one from a trusted boutique. This way, you are able to make those arabesques without any difficulty or fear that it will be ripped out.
Skirt
Wrap a cloth around the thigh region. Cut it accordingly and add glitter and design to it. Sew in sequins as you deem applicable. Secure it with a rubber band or elastic band.
Color Coordinate Your Purchases
Make sure that the colors match. Stuck with a theme? Make sure that you are complying to the theme requirements of your performance. If you are doing it for fun, just mix and match various colors until you find the right combination that represents you.
Practice Your Moves
Now, you can't just be static on stage, right? So make sure you are able to have a dry run with your costume by means of making ballet moves while wearing it. If something needs to be repaired, at least you will be able to determine them beforehand and not at the actual performance.
Now that you know how accessible sewing a ballerina costume is, I bet you won't have any more trouble and derive more fun in becoming the best ballerina you can be! And then you can have more time rehearsing and being the character of a ballerina with your new costume.
