Geared for costuming dancers, this book includes over 400 line drawings that demonstrate how to make a costume from a sketch rather than a pattern. Detailed instructions for making classical and romantic tutus, bodices, blouses, costumes for men, tights, leotards and skirts are presented, along with designs for character, national and period costumes. Directions for head-dresses, props, decorations, and ornaments are also included.
