In these videos, we take on the construction of a classical tutu skirt. It’s so important to have a well-fitting basque and panty for the base of any tutu. Costumes that are especially used for partnering take a lot of abuse. Laying the foundation for a quality made costume will allow it to perform for years to come. We will make the classic tutu skirt using the new extended height basque pattern (2300) from Tutus That Dance, and also add a few different ruffling techniques.

For every ballerina, wearing a professional tutu is something to be very proud of. It is what every young ballet dancer hopes to wear after being awarded their pointe shoes. The tutu is finishing touch that allows the dancer to transform into their character role.
