We’re On the Tutu Train
Freida’s infatuation with severely gnarly tutus (or any tulle, for that matter!) is rapidly spiraling out of control. Sometimes I have to literally wrestle her to get them off before bath or bed! She cries and holds onto the elastic waistband with such tight fists that her knuckles go white, whimpering “princess, princess”. I know it’s quite pathetic. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be one of those moms, whose kids show up at preschool each and every day sporting the same Buzz Lightyear rain-boots, or (worse!) Cinderella princess dress. I thought I was destined for a tomboy, a daughter after my own heart… not a fairy-wing loving, lipstick adoring, pirouette perfecting, tea-party obsessing child — but I absolutely adore her, even more for all the unfamiliar princess quirks that come along with her!! Plus, she’s teaching me a thing or two about being a lady (I never wore pink – now it’s my favorite color!), and I must admit, tea-time with a group of stuffed animals and my little love calling out “pinkies up!” has proven to be rather relaxing and satisfying.
But, the gnarly Tutus must be nipped in the bud – especially now that I’m quite certain she will be seen in public adorned in “princess” garb at some future point…
That’s what brings me to currently coveting these beauties:
How breathtaking are these??? By the incredibly awesome Australian tutu producers: TutuDuMonde. All tutus are hand-made and hand-dyed – lending each a one-of-a-kind feel inspired by vintage couture. Now that’s more like it!
i made a tutu for ahuva (its really easy) and she wore it once and doesn’t want to even look at it again. thing is she is into everything else girly, tea parties, handbags and little high heals and she loves to brush everyone’s hair. you can look on you tube i watched some tutorials before i made her tutu.
that’s so cute shevy!! would love to try that out (do i need a sewing machine?? i’m not as crafty as i fantasize to be…) i’ll check out some tutorials – thanks!!
i think that’s so funny that she likes all the other stuff and not the tutu – now there’s a girl who knows what she likes! :)
its really easy no sewing involved. you just need elastic and tulle and you tie the tulle in different knots depending on the look you want, you can even use one of those elastic headbands from the drugstore and just tie the tulle on that.
Omg these are amazing , but 150 not going to happen. I love them though becasue they are so much more unique than tutus out there,id wear one
i hear you!! would totally love to try and pull that off as an outfit! :)
