DIY Dance Costume (Advanced)
Posted by Rhinestones Unlimited on Nov 4th 2019
For the dancer who wants to sparkle on stage, to the soloist who wants to captivate the audience, to the 3rd place finalist on World of Dance - sometimes you just want the best! Check out this tutorial for this stunning costume, shown here on 2019 World of Dance finalist Ellie Wagner. Ellie and her sister Ava stunned the viewing audience and judges Derek Hough, Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo with their talent, passion, synchronicity, and sisterly connection. As proud sponsors of this amazing duo we had to involve Christine Murphy, master crystal artist, in the making of this costume. Because, when ONLY THE BEST WILL DO, you choose Swarovski Crystals and Christine Murphy!
If anyone knows how to make a beautiful, yet, simple leotard into a work of art, it's Christine Murphy. Here is an example where she took The Line Up's Floral Mesh Leotard in black and adorned it with a montage of Swarovski crystals in nine different colors and in eight different sizes and an amethyst sew on shape as well. As you can see, the result is simply divine.
