Tutus Part of Spring Fashion Line For Many
Stella McCartney recently released a tutu line for GapKids and will be launching another line for them shortly. Apparently tulle skirts are in for this spring for adults and little girls. Top designers are filling the runways with beautiful tutu skirts for all ages.
Jenni Lynn of MissTutu.com agrees, “Tulle skirts have always been a popular play time dress up costume for many little girls but more recently we are seeing them as skirts and dresses for every day wear thanks to tulle skirts becoming a trendy and fashionable outfit.” Jenni teaches moms how to create skirts from tulle since the cost of purchasing boutique tutu skirts is cost preventative for many. “Moms can learn how to create beautiful and professional looking tutu skirts for their daughter’s without spending a fortune since the basic supplies are fairly inexpensive and the instructions are easy to follow and create with.” Jenni confirms.
Once your daughter tries on her first tutu, she will most certainly be hooked on this new fashion trend and will soon be begging you to wear her tutu for more than just play time. You can see professional photographers across the nation using tutus to dress up infants and little girls for photo shoots as well.
The tutu is hip and trendy now but it most likely here to stay in one fashion or another due to the overwhelmingly positive response with little girls who want to dress up in fun skirts and show off their princess side.

How to Make a Tutu Girl’s Costume – A Basic Guide
Every girl dreams of being a fairy. This wish can become a reality without the use of a magic wand. All you need to do is find out how to make a tutu girl’s costume. Here is a very basic method that you can use.
All you need is a piece of tulle fabric. The size depends on the height of the girl you are going to make the tutu for and on how long she wants her skirt to be. You also need elastic. You might replace it with a ribbon, but the former option is better since it will create more comfort. In order to determine the length of the elastic you have to measure the waist of the girl. It is best to leave a few extra inches just to be on the safe side.
The next step for making a tutu is to cut the tulle into strips. The exact width is up to you, but 5 inches are fine. Then you have to sew the ends of the elastic to make the waistband of the skirt. The next step is also simple. You need to tie each strip of tulle to the elastic. You have to fold each piece in half. Place the strip around the elastic and pull the two ends down over it to make a tight loop. Repeat this step until the entire length of the waistband is covered.
This is how to make a tutu girl’s costume – the method is easy and simple. The skirt will definitely look great although it will not be very refined. If you want to create a classy princess tutu such as a pancake one you will need to use more sophisticated methods, tools and materials. You will need to invest some time and effort, but the final result will definitely be a worthwhile one.
