Clara’s Adriatic Blue Silk Nutcracker Costume
Custom Nutcracker Party Scene Dress in Antique White and Pink
For this Nutcracker Costume, the customer chose Style 708 as the foundation for a timeless and elegant look suited for the Party Scene. The dress was made in Adriatic Blue silk, a rich and refined hue that brings depth and distinction to the stage. To enhance its classic charm, Battenburg lace was added, offering a traditional yet delicate touch to the overall design.
Adriatic Blue is one of those rare colors that feels both regal and soft, making it a perfect fit for Clara's role in the Nutcracker Ballet. It photographs beautifully and stands out on stage, giving Clara a memorable silhouette as she interacts with family, friends, and magical guests at the Christmas party.

Style 708 is a popular choice from our Nutcracker Collection due to its graceful lines and versatility. It offers a full skirt and fitted bodice, allowing dancers to move freely while still maintaining a polished, period-appropriate appearance. This style is frequently used for Clara, but can also suit other Party Scene characters due to its adaptable nature.
The use of Battenburg lace in this Nutcracker Costume gave it added elegance. Placed carefully along the bodice and sleeves, the lace introduces soft texture and historical detailing that echoes the era in which the ballet is set. It’s a lovely contrast to the deep blue silk and helps create a layered, storybook aesthetic.
