Shes balanced up on pointe with her arms curved overhead, one leg extended back. The wings behind her have a stained-glass style, purple and dark magenta sections divided by thin black lines, and her skirt layers go from warm orange at the hem through pink, the colours giving it a sunset quality. Blonde hair trails down her back. Its got 10 thread colours, 63 trims, and that fine line style throughout.
At 3.5 inches wide the smaller size runs 11,493 stitches, a good chest placement or the kind of accent youll add to a kids ballet bag. Stitch it at 7.5 inches and 24,038 stitches and the wing shading really pays off, you can see all the purple and magenta sections clearly.
Pop a light cutaway under this one even on wovens, the wing sections have enough density that a tearaway can pull out on fine fabric. Load your thread tray with all 10 colors before you start. Make sure your skin tone thread is matched well before the first stop.
Dance studios use this a lot for their recital merchandise. I had a customer last spring who ordered it for a whole batch of ballet bags for a dance school end-of-year show. Theyre a great fit for that kind of commission work. The sunset palette works on both light and dark fabrics, which is why it gets used on so many different projects.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
