Cha Cha Cha
Do you know of anyone looking for a latin dance dress? I'm selling this little number as I am no longer dancing unfortunately. Last worn in 2009 (just the once) I designed this dress myself and had it made here in Auckland. It's made of red chiffon with a Lycra leotard on the inside. It is covered in sequins and Swarovski crystals. Check out my shop for further details.

Black Swan Wardrobe
I recently watched the award winning Black Swan and thoroughly enjoyed it, all the right elements for me - a psychological thriller and ballet in one. Along with the great story line I took note of the fantastic dancewear. As a dancer in my early years I can appreciate the need for style, comfort and functionality of dancewear. I found an article on Black Swan wardrobe designer Amy Westcott in Dancetrack Magazine. Interesting to note that Rodarte's vulture-inspired Autumn 2010 collection also provided Amy the inspiration for the white and black swan tutus and hair pieces.
