Every stitch helps shape the world of Alice in Wonderland.
Long before the curtain rises, costumes begin the work of storytelling. Fabric choices, textures, and hand-finished details all become part of how each character moves through Wonderland on stage.
This process asks for patience, collaboration, and an incredible amount of care from the people behind the scenes who help bring a production to life.
Alice in Wonderland tours with Ballet Wichita this season. Follow along for more moments from the studio, costume shop, and rehearsal process. 🩰
