Does anybody know how to make a stiff tutu like this:
I've made tutus before, but I want one that stands out by itselves without droop. Is it just to trust the material or is there some secret involved?
Any ballet dancers amongst us?

The secret is to use starch on the fabric once the skirt is sewn :)
ReplyDeleteI really think it only depends on the type of tulle you use to do that; I remember I've already seen one kind of veil rather hard that can be useful for that!

Thank's! Now I know it's called a pancake tutu (who knew?). I have a good description - let's see if I can follow it too..
ReplyDeleteThey require LOTS of layers,
ReplyDeleteSo be prepared for it to be time consuming and frustrating!
You can do it though =D
Most of the effect also comes from the type of material you use to do it. Some tulles are very soft, but they also exist as very stiff (almost like a mesh screen for your door). You'll need that
ReplyDeleteits a french style tutu
ReplyDeleteyou need very stiff tulle
and alot of layers
plastic hoops are often embedded as well

ReplyDeleteYou need very stiff tulle and sew a lot of really trimmed layers, starting from a very short layer going on with longer and longer layers in order to make a support.
It's not an easy work, it requires a lot of patience!
