I made this tutu as a RTW tutu. I had a tiny bit of the blue ribbon rose lace left and I thought I could eke out a design with it. Turquoise velvet was the perfect choice to match the lace.
bodice detail
The lace is quite simple so I blinged it up a little with rhinestones.
plate detail
I trailed the lace onto the skirt for a soft delicate look. The tendrils were caught by thread through the top layer of the skirt. I prefer the look of lightly floating plate rather than mounting it on net.
completed tutu
I submitted the tutu to a FB page selling RTW tutus and it sold within a couple of days. I’ll try to reprise the design a few different ways and add the style to my repertoire.
Price?
Hi, the tutu was bought within about 2 days of being listed on a tutus-for-sale page on FB. That’s my goal for a RTW tutu; I try to make them appealing without being too mainstream for a quick sale.
Which site did you list it on Barbara? I thought I was in all the Australian tutus for sale pages on FB but I didn’t see this one come up. It’s gorgeous!
I posted it first on my FB page. I was just about to list it on Tutus off the Rack but it sold before I posted it!
