Every woman strives to look attractive not only at a special event, but also walking down the street. An interesting and rather controversial wardrobe item can help with this – a tutu skirt, also called a tutu. Not everyone has such a thing at home, although it suits almost all girls, regardless of body type. The main thing is to combine it correctly with other items of clothing.
What is it
A tutu skirt is a fluffy garment made of thin or mesh fabric that is sewn with an elastic band or belt. This is a professional ballerina's garment, adapted for everyday wear or special occasions. It is made from materials that hold their shape well.
The product is becoming more and more popular every year, as it can be worn to any event, creating a casual or romantic "look". It goes well with both shoes and sneakers. The skirt looks good in wedding fashion, casual style. It has also found its place in sports chic.
Such items can be traditional, cocktail, avant-garde, evening. A too fluffy skirt, complemented by rings, should not be worn for a walk, it is more suitable for cosplay or photo shoots. In everyday life, it is better to prefer not very voluminous options of different lengths.
When choosing a product, you need to take into account the features of your body type and height. For girls with an "apple" silhouette, this model is contraindicated, since it requires a waist.
Popular varieties
The fashion for fluffy tutu skirts continues to be relevant every year. Over the years, designers have created a large number of different models that will suit every girl's taste. Products can be classified by length, volume, stiffness and style.
By length
To decide what to wear with tutu skirts, it is important to understand what length is needed depending on the figure and height of the girls. This parameter is also affected by the purpose of using the product. The following skirts are distinguished by length:
- Mini. Short models create a bold, daring, youthful image. They do not look good on plump ladies, as they visually make the hips even bigger. Mini skirts sit well on short fashionistas. On a tall girl they look comical.
- Midi models. Medium-length items will suit plump women. They are used more for everyday looks. These models are universal, they hide unsightly legs or extra fullness of the hips well. High-waisted items hide a protruding belly.
- Floor-length. A long skirt is designed to create festive and romantic "bows". A special look is achieved using a product in which each lower tier is longer than the previous one. If a floor-length tulle skirt is not very voluminous, it looks good on women of any build. It should not be used for everyday "bows".
A tall girl should give preference to models below the knee or to the floor. Non-standard options look interesting: asymmetrical, with a train. They are used for special events.
By splendor
Models can be very lush and moderately lush. The first type will suit thin girls or ladies with narrow hips. It is a product with a large number of layers - up to 12. The same option will suit women with broad shoulders, as it balances the figure. Short fashionistas should avoid very voluminous products.
A moderately fluffy women's skirt will suit everyone. For ladies with curves, with an "apple" figure type, it will help hide the extra volume of the hips. This option is also suitable for older women, but only if we are talking about midi length. The color of the product plays a big role here.
By rigidity
The material used to make tutu skirts must hold its shape well. Most often, tulle is used for this purpose. The rigid version is used for sewing products for photo shoots. In fact, this material is a mesh, characterized by high density. It is inconvenient for everyday wear, it will tear tights.
Medium-stiff fabric is used to sew petticoats for evening and wedding dresses. It can also be used to make short models for young people to make them more voluminous. Soft tulle skirts are the most common. A small number of layers allows you to create moderately lush options. To sew a voluminous product, you will need a lot of soft tulle.
By style
To choose a tulle skirt for the plump, you need to decide on its style. Just like in the case of a thin figure, here you need to emphasize the advantages and hide the disadvantages. Popular styles are given in the table.
| Type | Characteristic |
| High waisted | This tulle tutu is a universal option. Its top fits tightly to the body, tightening the waist, hiding the protruding belly. It looks equally good on thin and plump fashionistas. |
| Ballet | This is a professional product for dancers. The classic version is a pancake-shaped skirt. "Chopinka" is a long model used to create fairy-tale characters. |
| Bell | This is a model that flares downwards from the base, so the fabric does not touch the legs. This skirt is popular in the summer. Visually, it makes the figure proportional. Thin women can use this model to correct narrow hips, while curvy women can hide excess volume. But the calves and ankles of the latter should not be full. In everyday life, they are better off choosing knee-length models. |
| Mullet | The product has a short hem in the front and a long one in the back. The tulle model is not suitable for everyone, as it can visually distort even perfectly straight legs. This style is used in wedding fashion, for evening dresses, in sewing clothes for little girls. |
Each style must be properly combined with other items of clothing and shoes. Accessories will help to create unusual images. Most often, such skirts are used in the summer.
Features of models made from different materials
All materials used to make such clothing must be lightweight, create volume, hold their shape reliably, and have sufficient elasticity. It is good if the fabric does not wrinkle and is resistant to dirt. Tulle is mainly used for sewing tutu skirts. This is a fine-mesh net made of polyester fibers, which varies in stiffness and color. Other fabrics can also be used for sewing:
- Organza. It holds its shape well, but is more pleasant to the touch, soft. It can be used to make both very lush outfits and moderate models. Working with this material requires skills, as its seams quickly crumble. Everyday skirts for women made of organza are rarely sewn, it is more suitable for wedding and festive outfits.
- Satin. It is made from silk, wool or cotton fibers, has a stable shine and smoothness. The material is thin, so it requires additional lining to create voluminous products.
- Velvet. It has a soft, pleasant to the touch texture. The material is dense, holds its shape well, does not deform or shrink after washing. But it dries slowly and quickly fades in the sun, collects dust. Velvet skirts are most often used in wedding fashion, for making evening models, and items for cocktail parties.
- Chiffon. The material will look good in multi-layered lush products on a ribbon or elastic band. It is lightweight, fade-resistant, durable.
- Artificial silk. It has an attractive appearance, is thin, smooth to the touch, and translucent. It is also durable and wear-resistant. This fabric does not wrinkle and is not picky in use.
