At Southern Tutus we know better than anyone how many options there are for someone creating their own beatuiful, custom tutu. Below we have included some definitions and descriptions of the basic parts of a tutu and bodice to help you place your order with confidence!

Basque Will Show.
Basque will not show. Bodice sewn directly to the tutu.
Usually used with Fairies and Princesses
Can be used with any character you wish.
*to add long sleeves please contact me*
Embelshiments on top of tutu are sewn to a top plate which is then sewn to the tutu
Hand pleating the top or all of the layers adds more net and an extra professional element to your handmade tutu.
