Whitney Bracey, a Dallas-based clothing designer, recently launched a dance apparel line that specializes in nude dancewear, under her brand, Mahogany Blues.

The 29-year old designer got her inspiration for Mahogany Blues from her friend, TaKiyah Wallace, founder of Brown Girls Do Ballet. In conversations with Wallace, Bracey learned that there were no nudes for people of color in the dance industry. “Most dancers have to dye their leotards a few times to get the colors right,” she told BuzzFeed.

Not even nude ballet shoes are available to dancers of color.

Right now, Bracey’s line only has four colors.

But she is taking time to hand-make these leotards.

Soon, she hopes to have more colors. #NoDancerLeftBehind.
