Can-Can Dancers
Can-Can dancer costumes vary widely in the film, from soft
pinks to vibrant fire colors. Dozens upon dozens of yards
of lacesfor the bottoms of the skirts! Embelishments will
vary widely depending on costume, and of course custom
costumes altogether can be made. Pricing will vary greatly.
