Rocking tutu x

A tutu perfect for street ballerinas <3

I decided to remodel an ugly old skirt lying around in my closet...

Add to Favorites Add Your Version

This is what the original skirt looked like.
Pin the skirt to create a silhouette you want.
Gather small bits and pieces of tulle together (or rip a piece out of a larger piece) and pin it onto the skirt.
Sew the tulle onto the skirt, and add more tulle.
Keep on adding more tulle- make sure that the volume is right, and add more tulle on areas that lack volume.
This is what the finished skirt looks like :D

Thanks for all your comments! :]

ummm approximately 3m of tulle was used, although I bought around 5m just in case... it really depends on how wide you want it to be.

best new take on a tutu, ever! looks like it takes lots less time than the traditional way of making a tutu, and is definitely more fun!
