Edgar Degas Inspired Ballet Costume

O'Connor Catholic College

Georgia Luchich


"My Major Textiles Project is a romantic style tutu with hand embroidery which is inspired by the ballet and the artist, Edgar Degas."

Images of Work

"One manufacturing technique that I used for my MTP was using boning in my bodice which enables it to keep stable when dancing. The hook and eye closures also allowed for a snug closure and a perfect fit."

"A surface decoration technique that I utilised in my project was embroidery. I created a floral pattern that I hand embroidered onto the décolletage of my bodice. This created an aesthetic component for my Major Textiles Project which enhanced its overall look."

Select Student Folio Pages

The pages selected for each project reflect the individual students' interpretations of the syllabus guidelines for the MTP. Each student should develop their folio according to the guidelines, relating to their own individual project. This may result in a variety of presentation styles, numbers of sketches and/or experiments.
