Fire Engine Red Tutu S$38 Minnie Mouse with White Poms Poms S$55
Am still working on the Minnie Mouse design. It is a bright red tutu with white poms poms all over. waistband is a thick grosgrain red and white polka dot design. Single bow at waist.
Thanks for your time in looking at my hand-made boutique tutus.
I am really very excited about this at the moment. Started by making a few for my beautiful little girl and got so carried away.
My husband was perplexed by this pile of fluff. He asked, “What is this?!?!”
Good question.
Tutus are not just meant for ballet lessons. They are great for special occasions such as birthday parties, weddings, pageants, make believe / pretend play, twirling around and photo shoots, etc.
For me, I just get a kick out of seeing my 12-month old baby walking around looking like a princess.
My tutus are all painstakingly hand made. They are machine sewn layer by layer, there are no knots whatsoever. Hence, no worries that it will come apart. I am sure that they are durable and will last quite some time.
My tutus are not sized by age, which will just be a very rough guide. I will advice on sizing based on waist (and sometimes height) measurements. Hence please give me your darling's waist measurements if you are interested in my tutus.
Generally, my tutus are made from a variety of tulle. I almost never made a tutu with only 1 type of tulle. I balance stiff and soft ones for the best amount of fluff. I use only great quality tulle imported from England.
The basic tutu will have 4 layers of tulle, a satin ribbon waist band and a satin bow at the back. They come in 2 lengths, approx 9 inches and 12 inches long. The shorter ones look fluffier and look great in photos. Suitable for all ages. The longer ones are only for older girls and they feel great when twirling.
When you receive your tutu, there will most likely be some flattening in the transit process. Please note that you will need to re-fluff them or even do some light ironing when you receive your tutu.
The tutus are made of tulle (which is a type of nylon). While some tulle is stiff and sturdy, others are very delicate. I use a combination of both in my tutus. Hence my tutus cannot be machine washed. However, some light hand washing with warm soapy water will be just fine.
