Can we PLEASE take a moment to appreciate the goddamn AMAZING amount of craftsmanship that goes into making pro ballet costumes?

I MEAN …

COME ON PEOPLE!

GENUINELY FUCKING SPECTACULAR!

THE DETAIL!

THE BEAUTY!!

THE GORGEOUSNESS OF IT ALL!!!

Costume designers are some of the most awesomely skilled people on the planet and I feel like they very rarely get as much admiration as they deserve. Especially in ballet, because a lot of the time at least half the audience doesn’t get the chance to see how intricate and beautiful these pieces truly are. I want to thank the artists who put so much effort into making characters look amazing.
