The basis of the "Lise" costume (made-to-measure, to order) was a classic "ballet pink" bodice combined with white organza-over-net skirts. To make the costume alter visually for three different parts of the performance it had two different aprons (removeable): one decorated with broiderie anglais; the other with appliquéd flowers. It also had two sets of sleeves: one pair to sit on the shoulder and to match the broiderie anglais apron and mini mob-cap. A further pair in white organza, edged in silver lace were for the wedding scene (minus aprons, plus veil!) to be worn off-the-shoulder.
This costume would be equally suited to such parts as Swanhilda from "Coppélia", Giselle (with softer skirts), "Napoli", "Tarantella" and many other Bournonville roles.
This design can be varied and individualised to each made-to-measure order.
