A few people asked exactly how they can purchase the FP tutus from the image I posted. We do not have them available, but Luren from the display team has some suggestions.
To make these tutus, Luren utilized camisoles from past FP collections as well as waistcoats she located on the internet. But you can make your own!
It’s simple to make a tutu: simply locate a shade series of tulle and also netting at your neighborhood textile store and a thick band of flexible. If you have a stitching machine you can sew rates of tulle onto the rubber band in a pleat-y method, folding an inch of the silk under itself and sewing that inch, after that folding more tulle under as well as sewing that inch so you’re making pleat after pleat after pleat precisely the elastic band.
You can make numerous tiers of pleated silk on a thick elastic band. Then you can include little bands of pleated tulle onto all-time low of the layers of tulle for additional mass. We layered brilliant shades under pastel colors to make sure that when you saw the tutus from below you got a special surprise pop of shade.
Then we stitched them to Free People camisoles. The impact of this can be achieved with your homemade tutu or any type of tutu you can locate at a second hand store or a dancing store. Most dancing shops lug the donut design tutu (really big and thick around the waistline) and also the extra kicked back skirt-y tutu. You can just pin the tutu to the base of the camisole all over and then utilize a needle and thread to whip sew them together.
Good luck!
