Fashion dresses

A Mother Ginger dress is a traditional costume worn by performers in productions of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker. The dress is typically a large, billowing gown with a full, gathered skirt and puffed sleeves. It is often brightly colored and embellished with ruffles, lace, and other decorative details. The dress is designed to make the wearer appear larger than life, as Mother Ginger is a larger-than-life character in the ballet. The costume is usually paired with a wig or headdress to complete the look.
