Looking for a professional Flames of Paris ballet costume rental with authentic French character styling?

This beautifully handcrafted character ballet costume captures the spirited charm and elegance of Flames of Paris while offering exceptional versatility for a wide range of classical peasant and village-inspired ballet roles. Featuring a soft silver-gray satin bodice, delicate off-the-shoulder lace sleeves, traditional red ribbon lacing, and a flowing romantic-length skirt, this costume creates a timeless silhouette that is equally at home on the competition stage, in studio productions, and in full-length classical ballets.

The fitted bodice is fully lined for comfort and features elegant princess seams that create a flattering silhouette without restricting movement. Traditional red ribbon lacing and delicate blue trim evoke the historic French styling associated with Flames of Paris, while the detachable red, white, and blue ribbon ornament adds a striking patriotic accent that can easily be removed to transform the costume for other classical repertoire.

The softly flowing skirt is constructed with multiple layers of tulle beneath a delicate floral lace overlay, creating graceful movement and beautiful texture under stage lighting. Falling just below the knee, the romantic-length silhouette enhances expressive choreography while preserving the authentic storybook aesthetic characteristic of classical character ballet.

Designed with versatility in mind, the costume is constructed in two pieces, allowing the bodice to be tacked securely to the skirt for performance while also providing flexibility for fit adjustments during rentals. Whether performing a traditional variation or original choreography, dancers will appreciate the costume's elegant movement, refined construction, and timeless stage presence.

This costume is an excellent choice for YAGP, ADC|IBC, UBC, World Ballet Competition, studio competitions, conservatory performances, and professional productions where dancers want an authentic classical character appearance.
