Lady into Fox was adapted to ballet in 1939 by choreographer Andrée Howard. The original fox costume, by Nadia Benois, was made out of "terry towelling with hand-knitted tights" according to the Guardian - which covered a 2006 revival by Mark Baldwin, with Michael Howell using feathers for the costume, for which a photo is found in a later piece (and here; search "Lady into Fox"). Apparently the work conveyed "a gentleness and restraint, and an emotional and psychologically subtlety long gone from the pier-end gymnastics that pass for modern choreography" - at least in its 2012 edition. Perhaps by then "the joins between Baldwin's adroit invention and Howard's more old-fashioned rhetoric" were less "intrusively evident".
