This tutu is from “The Sleeping Beauty” for the Royal Ballet it’s from Act 3 one of the jewel fairies. This production was designed by Marie Bjornson who also designed ” Phantom of the Opera” this was the only ballet she designed. The Act 3 tutus were designed to look like 18th century panniers. The production was in rep from 1994 until 2002 when it was sold off. This was the production I worked on when I started at the opera house and it is my favorite version of the ballet.

There would have been 2 or 3 of these tutu’s made for the production
Thanks so much! I think this must have been the “Diamond Fairy” since the other two were blue and silver, and would be on the Sapphire and Silver Fairies,
How cool is that?! Interesting info. (and what a gorgeous costume).
Isn’t it though? I just love it!
