Baby Tutu Costumes

A tutu is a skirt usually worn as a costume by little girls and adults in a ballet performance. It used to be that when one think of tutu, the image of a ballerina on tippy toes comes to mind. Not anymore! Today you'll find even infant babies who are not old enough to crawl, not alone stand on their tippy toes dressed up in tutus. Tutus are made out of tulle fabric. Tulle is a lightweight, very fine netting fabric spurned out of various fibres, including silk, nylon, and rayon. Tulle fabric is commonly used for wedding gowns, prom gowns and veils. The make-up of a tutu consists of a waistband and bodice. The bodice is a separate piece of the costume attached at the waistline or high on the hip; sometimes it's put together just with elastic tabs to allow for movement. The skirt itself, the part that hangs down, can be either a single layer, or multiple layers.

There are solid colored tutus and multi-colored ones too. Tutus styles and designs can go from being basic with no embellishment to being couture and sophisticated with lots of embelishments. Pre-designed store-bought tutus sometimes come embellished with ribbons, rhinestones, silk or fabric flowers, and pom-poms.There are ay model for baby tutu costume:

- Tinkerbell. I'm sure that I don't need to elaborate on the fact that many little girls love to dress up in just about any costume that requires a tutu or a fancy dress. This pattern does require some sewing expertise for the lacing, but it is a very inexpensive project. If your little girl isn't into Tinkerbell or isn't particularly fond of the color green, consider simply changing the color or modifying the costume slightly so she can be a fairy, princess, queen, or any other fancy lady of her choosing. A coordinating wand will complete the outfit.
- Yoda. I'm not sure how much this costume actually resembles Yoda, but the little girl wearing it is so darn cute. Regardless of resemblance, it is still an awesome costume. Maybe some face paint would complete the look for a slightly older kid? The hat could easily be transformed into a jester's cap, too. The snake doesn't fit into the Star Wars theme but can easily be left out, as can the walking stick if it will just be a distraction for your little one.
