Tutu designed by Linda Lundström Works in collaboration with The Volunteer Committee

The bodice of this tutu was built out of scraps of cloth from the Volunteer Committee’s first Build-A-Ballet Fund initiative, La Fille mal gardeé. The skirt is covered in paper flowers made from Japanese washi paper in homage to Yorkville’s Paper Things, which is run entirely by the Volunteer Committee. The names of each committee member, from past and present, can be found on the petals of these flowers.
