Why should I purchase a professional costume?
Whether you are a professional dancer, a dance student, a dancer’s parent/teacher or a grown-up dancer, a professional costume will certainly elevate your dance experience. A beautiful costume looks good, feels comfortable and makes you feel confident. All of that combined, you get more out of your performance.
Move freely
Our professionally patterned costumes ensure the ease of every back bend and extension, while the use of lightweight materials allows for effortless jumps and turns. We are committed to making sure you can fully focus on dancing and expressing yourself with confidence.
Show your full potential
In big competitions and performances, a good costume can make a huge difference in making you stand out. The costume can even affect your score since it can make a difference in your first impression. Choose a costume that compliments your body and personality. In the end, ballet is an art form rather than a sport and a beautiful costume amplifies your storytelling and expression.
The dancer’s extra limb; a tutu skirt
When you put a tutu on, it instantly becomes part of your silhouette. It’s a very noticeable element in you, like an extra limb that moves alongside your dancing, affecting your body proportions, lines and appearance. That’s why it’s extremely crucial the tulle skirt in the tutu is constructed correctly. The technique used to make the tulle layers also affects the movement of the tutu, making it stiff yet bouncy. The ideal tutu gives in a bit and moves along you, without distracting the audience from your beautiful dancing.
The tulle defines the tutu
In high quality tutus, close attention is paid to the most defining element of the tutu: the tulle. The tulle used in professional tutus is beautiful and durable ballet tulle. It is important to use tulle created especially for ballet tutus. In mass-produced tutus, the tulle often looks bulky, does not hold its shape and makes the tutu feel heavy.
We use hexagonal stiff ballet net that is also used at the costume departments of many big ballet companies. We handle the tulle with the right techiques we have perfected for almost a decade to make the tulle look good and stay in place. In our pancake tutus, the tulle is pleated completely by hand, making sure every single pleat looks perfect.
Stretch tutus
Our stretch tutus are crafted from premium semi-stretch fabrics that offer a flattering, body-hugging fit without compromising on comfort. Lightweight boning provides additional support, while the flexible base ensures an excellent fit—no in-person fittings required.
Traditional Tutus
Traditional tutus require meticulous craftsmanship and precise measurements. Typically made from non-stretch fabrics, these tutus can be customized with our extensive selection of luxurious decorative materials, including silks and brocades. The bodice, which can be made detachable, features full boning to provide support and maintain a graceful silhouette. To ensure a perfect fit, we take detailed measurements and create a custom pattern template, verifying every dimension before cutting the final fabrics.
Embellishment work
We decorate our tutus with laces, appliques, hand-made embroidery, lace, crystal beads and hand-sewn pearls. Our attention to every detail ensures that our designs not only look stunning on stage but also maintain a polished and high-end appearence up close.
