The story behind the famous brand of ballet shoes or “chaussons de danse” goes back to 1947 when Rose Repetto began sewing ballet shoes for her son – Roland Petit to protect his feet during rehearsals. Brigitte Bardo wore them in “And God Created Woman” and their fame has since spread throughout the world.

Reading about Repetto made me think of the Brothers Grimm fairytale – The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I think the princesses must have each had a pair of Repettos on their dainty feet when they twirled around the enchanted garden with their beaus.

Crochet a pair of these iconic slippers and twirl around your house on feet as light as feathers!

Happy crocheting!
