This was a sweet and quirky little jazz costume that I loved making. The colours were such fun and making the little bathing cap just finished the picture.

The halterneck top was adorned with lycra flowers. I sewed little Indian mirrors onto each as the flower centre. They were another find that I had stashed away for the right application.

pants detail

The bikini pants has ruffles on the back and I added flowers there as well to continue the theme.

This was a cute and age appropriate costume for a young dancer. I completed the vintage look with a bathing cap.
