Aklf Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This is a long shot I'm sure but wonder if anyone has a White Lodge character skirt with multi colored ribbons that they no longer need and would like to sell? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa O`Brien Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Any chance someone could upload a photo of it? Would love to see what they look like ,with you saying they are beautiful. I just thought they would be similar to the RAD ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon2 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If you search Google images for Royal Ballet school you can see pictures of the character skirts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Lisa, I found it on Twitter so I have retweeted it for you. I must say I prefer the ones my dds had at their ballet school which were individually made and changed every couple of years as they progressed up the grades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks Fiz. Just found it. Apart from being navy, it is very similar to the old RAD one I used to have which was pale blue. I loved it. But unfortunately my mum sold it when I no longer needed it. Would love to have kept it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It was expensive enough to make once!  I wouldn't have liked to pay that every few years.  It has a beautiful lining and the frilled trim.  Vmmom, you don't need the school character skirt for Summer School.  Just any.  My younger DD has insisted on wearing her RAD one rather than big sister's RBS one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmmom Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks @angel but at my daughter's school they don't use character skirt so I need to buy one. I found the Katz skirt on ebay that is not too expensive but it seems  so see-through . I can sew it by myself but the cost will be the same or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I would strongly recommend this website for character skirts  http://www.character-skirts.co.uk/Pages/ReadyMadeSkirts.aspx  They do regular sizes and made to measure. I thought reasonable prices and they are beautifully made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenda Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 For Covent garden summer intensive is necessary a national skirt too, my Dd just have a black one but without ribbons, do you think there will be a problem if she uses that one? I can't find it in my country and may be I could sew one, but I don't know fabric composition, how many ribbons, what colors, etc, please if you have an image of covent garden national skirt I would apreciate.

sarahw Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi Brenda, usually at Summer Schools in the UK you do not require a specific uniform. So I think any character skirt would be fine. I think only children at the school full time have the exact skirt discussed. On the whole summer schools do not want you to spend a lot of money on kit - they would rather you used things you already own. Hope your dd enjoys the summer school!

brenda Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thank's sarahw I was worried because school listed things needed and explained national skirt is a black skirt with ribbons, but I think is just for our information and it doesn't have to be exact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 They are commonly worn in the UK for RAD graded exams. Colour of Ribbons are down to teacher preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
