The Sleeping Beauty: Restoring the Costumes | English National Ballet

Restoring the magic of The Sleeping Beauty ✨

As many of the costumes for this production were created over 20 years ago, incredible amounts of work go into preparing them for a performance.

🩰 The Sleeping beauty is the largest ballet in our repertoire, with 152 tutus alone. It can take a full day to restore a single costume!

Hear from talented embroiderer Rosie, as she shares some of the meticulous work that goes into making our dancers shine on stage, including how she embellishes these beautiful costumes by hand 🧵
