Dancewear Inspiration: Peasant

This dancewear inspiration series will give you inspiration to style your dance wardrobe after your favorite ballet characters.  Whether you are looking for inspiration in an upcoming rehearsal or you're  just enjoying dressing up, I hope these looks can inspire you to have fun with your look.

The peasant character is common to many ballets (Coppelia, Giselle, etc.), and sometimes the lead character is a peasant.  Usually these characters are supposed to represent simple folk who have generally happy lifestyles and wear traditional European costumes.  Peasant costumes usually have a white blouse, some sort of corset or vest, and a full skirt that falls to the knee or below.  Bright colors are also common.  This dancewear look takes these traditional elements and updates them to current dancewear fashion trends.
