My tutus have appeared in all major dance competitions across the world and in most of Australia’s local eisteddfods.

Two Ivory Tutus
This year I have put aside a little time to make some ready-to-wear tutus. I’ve made a few dramatic ones but also a few that appeal to quieter tastes. And for that you can’t go past ivory. Here are 2 tutus that both sold in under 30 minutes on my FB page. This first oneContinue reading “Two Ivory Tutus”
Green, Mint and Teal Tutus
Green is not a common colour in ballet except for variations like Esmeralda but sometimes a Tinkerbell will sneak through. Beautiful dark green velvet, dramatic light gold appliques and a soft gold tulle overskirt are teamed with emerald and turquoise rhinestones. This lovely little tutu has a light soft design of pale blue and mintContinue reading “Green, Mint and Teal Tutus”

Blue is a very popular colour for tutus from pale blue, through mid blue, royal blue and dark steely blue. Here is a selection of mid blue tutus.

In 2018 I have resolved to make a few more RTW tutus to test new design ideas on the ballet community. This one was a classical colour combination but with a new lace type that my fellow tutu-maker Danielle Legge brought to my attention. It’s a net based trim that has tiny sequins adhered toContinue reading “Apricot and Ivory”
Blue and Gold Championship Tutu
One of my clients asked me to make a championship tutu for her daughter with just a few colours a no-go and the brief … lovely, layered, textured and romantic. Here’s my interpretation of her brief … I used a combination of 2 different laces on the bodice and a range of blue rhinestones.Continue reading “Blue and Gold Championship Tutu”
Lilac Fairy
This is one of my most requested colour schemes/variations. Lilac comes in quite a few shades and this one was on the deeper end of the spectrum with the addition of a ruched corselet bodice. The top if the bodice is ruched with hand-dyed stretch mesh made to look like a little chemise aboveContinue reading “Lilac Fairy”
Ivory and Cream Tutu
I bought a cream coloured lace recently that had no bling whatsoever on it but the pattern was very attractive and I thought I’d be able to improve its stage-presence with a few (ahem) rhinestones to it to make it shine. I also used a very sparkly gold glitter tulle in the skirt … youContinue reading “Ivory and Cream Tutu”
Silver and Old Gold
I like to buy lots of different trims for my inventory so my clients have plenty of choice. One trim I bought online recently was quite an old gold colour with greenish undertones. I really wasn’t sure anyone would really like it so I thought I’d try it out first as a ready to wearContinue reading “Silver and Old Gold”
