Description
Emelie is a one-of-a-kind bell tutu made especially for Le Corsaire vartiations. This authentic look is made in stunning bordeaux color and embellished with lavish details. The tutu acts almost like a painting: up close, you see the different textures and materials used, but from far away, you really get to see the bigger picture and how well all of these details work together. This piece of art is now looking for its dancer!
Details
The tutu is a bell tutu which means that it has a bell-like droopy skirt. Bell tutus were common in Petipa’s original works over a century ago and they’re now making a comeback on modern stages. The skirt does not have a hooping like pancake tutus have and this makes the skirt drop beautifully. The skirt ends above the knee.
The tutu has 8 layers of gathered tulle. They create a good amount of volume to the skirt. There is a stretchy lycra panty in the skirt. The 10-panel bodice is fully lined and made of breathable 4-way stretch scuba. The buttery structure of the fabric gives a smooth look to your upper body and feels super comfortable when dancing. The bodice has hooks and eyes in the back so it’s easier to put on. There is NO boning in the bodice, except for in the center back to support the closure.
The tutu is decorated with lace, glittery scrolls, sparkly trim, sateen ribbon and glass crystals. The tutu also has off-the-shoulder sleeves that are made of white lace.
Note: The tiara is NOT included to the product.

Caring Instructions
Avoid ironing and steaming the tutu skirt. Any heat, water or pressure can damage the tulle so that the skirt may lose its beautiful volume. To get rid of wrinkles, pull the tulle straight with your hands and wait a day or two. For bad wrinkles, a very careful steam can be applied. When storing the tutu, hang the tutu upside down from a hanger, or lift the skirt to a vertical position and sandwich it between other garments. Never let the tutu skirt hang like a regular dress. You can also store the tutu flat under your bed, in a tutu bag.
