Have you ever wondered where today's dancewear came from? I know I have. This little gem of a website explains it all. The history of ballet slippers and pointe shoes, including some notable designers of said shoes. The evolution of the ballerina's costume, from the incredibly heavy and complex gowns of the 15th century to the leotards and tights we all wear today. It certainly makes me grateful that I'm a dancer today and not 50 or 100 years ago.
