Ballet slippers, a golden crown, a tiny drum, a rocking horse and one very serious soldier with a beard. The whole Nutcracker story laid out like a page from a Christmas storybook, painted in soft watercolour and dusted with gold stars. Made for the dancer in the family, the parent who has watched the recital four years running, and anyone who hears the Sugar Plum theme and instantly feels festive. Lovely under the tree for a ballet kid, a dance teacher or a grandma with front-row tickets. Printed on the Comfort Colors 1717: garment-dyed, pre-shrunk heavyweight cotton with that lived-in, vintage-soft feel from day one.
