Published Friday, May 28 2010, 14:42 BST | By Mayer Nissim
Costumers Chrisanne have revamped the traditional Morris dancing outfit with the aim of making the hobby more popular.
The fashion firm, which makes outfits for Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing On Ice and Britain's Got Talent, teamed up with UKTV channel Blighty to celebrate its upcoming spoof Morris dancing documentary.
Channel head Adrian Wills said: "At Blighty, we very much believe in preserving great British traditions and Morris dancing certainly stands as one of those.
"It's clear to see from the film Morris: A Life with Bells On that the dance form retains its eccentric appeal. Let's hope that by giving the traditional Morris costume a revamp, the Morris tradition can thrive in generations to come."

Morris: A Life with Bells On airs this Saturday at 8pm on Blighty.
