I think I have done really well with the budget of these two costumes, however it has only been reasonably cheap because I had most of the materials already. However i think the purchases I have made were all good value for money and used effectively.


The ballet school will be very pleased with the result, as all of the money goes to charity, and it was important that I kept the cost down as much as possible.
