I saw the post on tutu makers, well I’m not a tutu maker but we are doing a dance project at uni and I’m making a tutu for the BlueBird pas de deux and a catsuit for All that Rag inspired by the 20s.
I was on a very tied schedule. We only got the tutu net on Thursday (Firenze Net), and the assigned dancer measurements on Tuesday before that. So I’m going like crazy to get it all done for fittings (away for 4 days and bank holiday too. Grrrr). I did the bodice at home, had some help with daggering the net from the designer I’m working with and sewing all 10 layers on the knickers in 6 hours. Only caught the knickers in a seam once. Lol
Still some stuff to do before Monday, like the bone, stringing and adding more boning into the bodice. But I’m pleased with how it’s going so far!
Designed by costume design Student Elsa Anderson, we got a newer version but I don’t have a picture. More or less the idea but brighter.
Last layer going on
Still need to insert a bone and do some stringing on Monday morning.
All that Rag design by Elsa too. She will mainly do all the hand painting.
