Spring is around the corner and staff at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet hope their tutus will bloom in time.
The company is doing the classic ballet Swan Lake this season and with it has launched a fundraising campaign.
"Tutus in Bloom" aims to raise $60,000 so the RWB can replace 28 tutus that were designed and built 25 years ago and no longer hold their shape.
Wardrobe director Alena Zharska says each tutu used by the dancers is hand-made at a cost of about $2,000.
Built layer by layer, each tutu takes about 60 hours to make and is built to last about 25 years.
To date, $24,500 has been raised, which will pay for 12 tutus.
