User blog comment:Chrismh/Coord Competition Round I Lost Count: Christmas Concert!/@comment-25780349-20171221032432

Inspiration: My inspiration for this coord is Clara from The Nutcracker. I always associate Christmas with The Nutcracker so I decided that would be my inspiration.

Design: I based this coord of off Clara's costume throughout the ballet. Clara is always seen wearing her frilly night gown so I tried to make the coord look like a night gown. The top seems like what a young rich girl in the 1900s would wear so I based the coord of the top. Pastel colours also seemed fitting for a night gown so I went with pastel pink and blue.



Accessory: I chose a crown for her accessory as in the Land of the Sweets, the Nutcracker Prince gives Clara a crown to wear, well at least in the version I have seen/perform.
