Ballet- A Rakes Progress

For the Rakes progress rather than just copying clothing from the paintings I want to change them to fit a different style of performance. I wanted to do this so that I had more restrictions that I would have to work towards to give me more of a challenge when designing, making it fit the Rakes Progress but in a certain style of performance.
