Red and Teal Clara Nutcracker Party Scene Dress
Nutcracker Costume Party Scene Dress in Christmas Red and Baltic Blue
This festive Nutcracker Costume was designed using Style 708 and features a bold, classic color pairing that captures the spirit of the holiday season. The dress was made in Christmas Red silk, a rich and vibrant hue that evokes warmth and tradition. Accented with a Baltic Blue (teal) sash, this costume offers a striking contrast that is both elegant and youthful—an ideal choice for Clara in the Party Scene of The Nutcracker Ballet.
To soften the bright silk tones, Battenburg lace was added to the design. The delicate, vintage-inspired lace trim enhances the traditional styling and provides visual interest without overpowering the rich colors. Its placement on the bodice or sleeves adds texture and charm while staying true to the historical period of the ballet.
Style 708 remains a favorite among our Nutcracker Costume options for its timeless silhouette and ease of movement. With its fitted bodice and flowing full skirt, it offers both beauty and practicality—supporting graceful dancing while looking perfectly polished on stage. It’s especially popular for Clara, but also works beautifully for other Party Scene dancers.
The combination of Christmas Red and Baltic Blue gives this costume a unique balance of classic holiday cheer and unexpected vibrance. The red provides the warmth and familiarity we associate with Christmas, while the teal sash offers a pop of contrast that feels fresh and sophisticated. Together, they create a memorable visual statement.

Collar styles may vary depending on material availability, but they are always chosen to coordinate with the dress’s design. Whether finished with a rounded or pointed collar, each version contributes to the dress’s cohesive and refined look, staying in line with the performance’s traditional aesthetic.
Each Nutcracker Costume we make is individually crafted and customizable in over 260 colors of silk. This particular combination of Christmas Red and Baltic Blue shows just how expressive and enchanting a custom costume can be, especially when bringing a beloved character like Clara to life on stage.
