Review of Ballerina in a box by Danskin
This present was the highlight of the Christmas for our 4 year old daughter, who insisted on wearing it all Christmas day and then again and again as soon as it was cleaned.
The “Ballerina in a box” consists of a pink tutu, tights and a pink long sleeved leotard. The ballet pumps were purchased separately. As Santa was a bit disorganised here this year, the kit was purchased online from Dance World, who are based in Ranelagh, Dublin 6.
Their service couldn’t be faulted. Easy to navigate and order on their website, no additional shipping costs and very efficient delivery.
The cost of the Ballerina in a box combo was €40 and the pumps were another €19, which isn’t cheap. The leotard, tutu and pumps have lasted well but the nylon tights have too many runs now and are beyond wearing. It would have been preferable to receive heavier dernier rated tights, which would hopefully mean, they’d withstand a bit more wear and tear.
That said, she still thinks its awesome and loves dressing up in the leotard, tutu, pumps and practising her ballet moves!
