As seen in The Great Book Of Lingerie by Cecil Saint-Laurent, this shot of “the Dancers Green Room” by FE Mesplés:
It was during the reign of Louis XV that the law required dancers to wear drawers.

Hahaha! Awesome!
Thanks for making me giggle. : )
Bloomers!
(I also tend to agree with the top comment on the video about ballet becoming too much like gymnastics, not enough about art)
Man, I fucken love that video.
Great video, thanks!
Lovely.
I miss the Cechetti ports-de-bras… I learned the whole set back when I used to take beginner ballet. A few of my teachers here studied with Celli, (who studied with Cecchetti himself) and they are prone to occasional bouts of absolutely brutal barre/center work from that sort of thing. Good for you, but exhausting.
