Tutu bodice

BA (Hons) Costume Interpretation. Dutchess satin ballet tutu bodice, featuring HTV iron on decals and hot fix crystals. Removable bones and stretch lycra inserts follow research into practical adaptations for bodice’s design and requirements when moving for a dancer. The garment was drafted on the stand before several fittings to successfully find the best cut for the dancer and the best shape for the design.

Graduate Sahir Mehta
As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor. Sahir Mehta, MA Professional Acting, 2018
