OUR TUTUS

Let us tell you something exciting! Each and every one of our tutus is handmade with love and care, just for you.

That's right, none of our tutus are ready-made and waiting on the shelf. Instead, we create them specifically for you when you place your order. While we can't wait to send you your beautiful tutu, it does take a little time to craft it to perfection. So, to ensure you receive it in time, please place your order in advance and avoid any last-minute rush. Trust us, it'll be worth the wait!

 

On our website, you'll find a huge selection of styles to choose from, and you can customize everything from the size to the length and colours. But wait, there's more! If you're feeling extra creative, you can even design your own tutu right here. And if you want something truly unique, just reach out to us and we'll help bring your dream tutu to life. Trust us, the possibilities are endless!

We want to make sure that your tutu is ready and waiting for you in time for your special event! That's why we kindly ask our amazing customers to keep in mind our processing time of up to 1-2 weeks (sometimes a bit longer for group orders or during super busy holidays like Halloween or Christmas). But don't worry, we always do our best to get your order shipped out as quickly as possible so you won't have to wait long. Just remember, for those larger orders, it may take us a bit more time to perfect every detail, so be sure to plan accordingly for your next big night out or tutu order!

All of our tutus are made in a smoke free environment with the best quality dress net and fabric sourced from small businesses around the United Kingdom.

Our bespoke items are one-of-a-kind, bursting with personality and originality. We understand that waiting can be tough, but we promise that the end result will be worth it. So thank you for your patience and for entrusting us to create something truly unique just for you.

 In between sizes?

Hey, we totally get it - everyone is unique and it can be tough figuring out your perfect size. You might be one size in one store, but another size in a different one - we've been there! And when you're shopping online, it can be even trickier not being able to try things on. But fear not, our tutus are designed with elasticated waistbands that can stretch to fit you just right, whether you need a little extra give or a snugger fit. So go ahead and order with confidence - we've got your back!

So, you find yourself in between sizes, around a UK16-18, and you're not sure which size to go for?

Well, we've got some great news for you! Our regular size tutus can actually stretch up to a size 20. But, it's important to consider how you'll feel wearing it. Wendy, who is the main seamstress here and also happens to be a size 20, can fit into a regular size tutu but it's definitely on the tight side and she only wears it for short periods of time.

So, ultimately it's up to you and how you feel about it.

The plus size option has an extra panel and more room, so if you want to be extra sure that you'll feel comfortable and confident in your tutu, then it might be the better option. However, if you're feeling daring and think you can rock the regular size, then go for it! We want you to feel amazing in your tutu, so the choice is all yours. (But just between us, if we could join you in a tutu, we totally would!)

 

 

What's the difference between sizes?

We totally get why you might be wondering why there's a difference in price between our different tutu sizes. But fear not, we're happy to explain!

So, the reason for the price difference is actually because we use more net for each size. Let's take our Regular size tutu for example: it has three panels of net per layer, which allows it to stretch to the biggest REG size, while still being able to fit the smallest size.

Now, when it comes to our Plus size tutus, we use four panels per layer, and our Plus Extra size has a whopping five panels per layer! This means you get even more room and comfort, but it also means we use a lot more net when we add up all the layers.

Unfortunately, using more net does make the price go up, but we think it's totally worth it to give you plenty of room to move and groove in your tutu. We never want to skimp on quality just to make it cheaper. So there you have it - now you know why there's a difference in price between our tutu sizes. 

 

 

What length shall I go for?

We've recently done a post on length differences in our feather style. There's photos included which might help you a little more!

We love hearing from our customers, and one of the most popular topics we get asked about is tutu lengths. Now, we wish we could give you a straight answer, but the truth is that everyone is different and has their unique style.

For example, I'm a huge fan of skater dresses because they flatter my figure and look amazing on me, but my friend, who's the same weight as me but slightly taller, finds them unflattering for her. Why? Well, it's probably because she has a longer torso than me, which just goes to show how important it is to find the right fit for your body type. But don't worry, we're here to help and will give you a rough idea of where our tutus fall on a typical female. So, let's find the perfect length for you!

  • Wow, now this is what we call a super short length! We're talking about a 10" length that's so short, it skims your bum! But hey, if you're someone who loves to flaunt their style with leggings or tights, or if you're confident enough to show off your undies, then we say, you go, girl! Let your unique style shine through and rock that 10" length tutu like a boss!

 

  • The 12" length is hands-down the most popular option for regular tutus, hitting you at the perfect mid-thigh point. You'll be showing off just the right amount of leg without flashing your pants (unless, of course, you've had one too many sips of wine before heading out!).

 

  • If you're looking to cover the upper half of your legs while still showing off a little bit of skin, then a 15" length tutu is the perfect choice for you! This length typically falls just above the knees or around the knee area, ensuring that you're adequately covered while still being able to flaunt those gorgeous legs. So, go ahead and pick the 15" length tutu with confidence!

If you're looking for a tutu that falls below the knee, anything longer than 15" is the magic number. And if you want to be absolutely certain about the perfect length for you, no worries! Simply grab a tape measure (even if you have to snag one from Ikea - sorry, Ikea!) and drape it loosely from where you'd wear your tutu (at your waist or hips) to where you'd like it to end. It's that easy-peasy!

Get ready for a fun fact! Our gorgeous tutus are often showcased on our mannequin, Katy, who is an absolute stunner at 6 feet tall with legs that go on for days! Now, if you're not quite blessed with Katy's goddess-like proportions, don't worry! Just keep in mind that the tutus might come out slightly different on you, but trust us, they'll still look absolutely fabulous!

Don't worry if the length isn't available. Just send us a message of which tutu you'd like in the size and your custom length and we'll work out a custom quote for you.



I'm a plus size sexy lady. What tutu will suit me best?

Another tough question to answer. It depends what you're looking for. 

Feather style

A feather is a fun tutu to wear that usually flatters most sizes. If you don't want it to stick out too much we'd say to avoid the spiker feathers that you can see stick out in the photos. The two layer feather styles are a popular choice for the curvier ladies. They are only made of two layers though so we'd advise to wear leggings/tights or add an underskirt for complete coverage.

Cascade style

The cascade style is difficult to say to wear or avoid. We used to say AVOID! as we got a lot of feedback one year from girls saying their hips felt really big in that style but then quite a few other people ordered the cascade style ignoring the whole avoid comment and said they felt better in the cascade because it stuck out so much they looked slimmer.

So, with the cascade style, it's totally up to you. They really do stick out and can stick out more if you 'poof' them up. Avoid if you don't want a tutu that sticks out or go crazy if you want one that's the poofier the better!

Straight style

The straight style is like the cascade in a way. The longer you have the tutu the more it will stick out in an A-line skirt sort of way, so avoid longer length straight tutus if that's what you don't want!

RaRa style

The RaRa style tutu is a HUGE favourite for our curvier ladies. Most of the raras we have sold are in the Plus and Plus Extra sizes. We've never had any bad feedback from curvy ladies regarding this style so it is a good style to go for! The Lady RaRa is a great one as it has a longer section at the back so it gives even more coverage there too. 

 

 

 Hopefully, we have covered enough for you to make a better decision with your purchases.
