Benois' Techniques: Creating an Illusion Through Fabric and DetailBenois masterfully uses sheer fabrics and delicate embellishments to create a costume that seems to float effortlessly around Karsavina's body. The soft, flowing lines evoke the graceful movements of a dancer, while the intricate beadwork and embroidery add a touch of opulence and enchantment.
Beyond the Costume: Symbolism and InspirationThe costume's design draws inspiration from the ballet's ethereal theme, where a young girl encounters the ghost of a rose. The ethereal white and pink hues represent purity and innocence, while the flowing fabrics suggest the ephemeral nature of the spirit world.

It exemplified the movement towards more elaborate and visually stunning productions, revolutionizing the art of stagecraft.
