Catherine Zehr’s “Grand Duchess” Tiara Design is an elegant dramatic tiara, available to build in two color combinations - Crystal or AB Crystal. Both are perfect for any role requiring an air of sophistication and elegance.
As with all advanced-level kits, you are encouraged to make the design your own by arranging the stones supplied in any way you want! We encourage you to bring your own rhinestones and decorative gems to further personalize this design.

Catherine Zehr, costume designer for New York-based touring company, Ballets with a Twist, is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, with a degree in Fashion Design. Catherine spent ten years working in the fashion industry for several major companies before going into costume design. She brought with her excellent pattern-making skills, and an understanding of the importance of having costumes and headpieces support the dancer and choreography, not over-shadow them. With twenty years’ experience as a costume designer, Catherine’s designs are elegant, enhancing both the dancer and the project. Her favorite part of the creative process, by far, is creating the headpieces. She brings five new tiara designs to TutuSchool - Charlotte.
