Designer Nursery Decor: PoshTots

To love the ballet is not a requirement for baby girls to enjoy pretty little ballet tutus. Whether or not she is destined to be a ballerina is neither here nor there! Charming little toddler girls bounding around in ballerina costumes are a sight that no parent with a camera should miss!

Modern tutus for baby girls come in lots of different styles. You can order a special tee and diaper cover, or leotard personalized with baby’s monogram to match each little skirt or make your own with some sheer net and have it monogrammed or embroidered with any motifs, quotes or graphics that you like.

COOL WAYS to PERSONALIZE YOUR FAIRY PRINCESS BALLERINA COSTUME

Some traditional ways to embroider the top of baby girl’s ballet skirt are:

  • Princess crowns and the word princess or some inscription like “Our Little Princess” or other cute reference to baby royalty
  • Fairy wings and pixie wands as well as the occasional picture of a fairy
  • Angel wings, haloes and pictures of angels

BALLET TUTUS in UNUSUAL COLORS and UNIQUE THEMES

The latest trend in baby girl and toddler ballerina outfits is as far away from the tradition as you can get! The classic, frilly tutu with feathered wings from Swan Lake has not been replaced, but there are tutus in themes that are not even close to the pink and white costumes that we are used to. Ballet tutus have exploded in colors from Fuchsia to black and orange for use as infant Halloween costumes. I have seen ballet tutus on cowgirls wearing cowboy boots and hats as well as being worn by baby ladybugs and honeybees in black, yellow and red!

TRIM and DECORATIONS for YOUR PRINCESS FAIRY’S BALLET TUTU

What’s a ballerina costume without glitter, bling and glam? A sheer skirt is fine, but there are lots of flashy embellishing techniques that will make your baby’s ballerina skirt more special. Some decorative trim that you might want to consider for would be fluffy feathers as well as anything that sparkles. Take care that your glue gun is not too hot when adding your embellishments because you might melt a hole in the delicate fabric. Another issue associated with decorating the sheer fabric would be the weight of the decorations. A tutu should be light and airy not pulled down by heavy decorations. The reason that tiny gemstones, satin ribbons, sequins and feathers are seen on ballerinas is because they don’t add a lot of weight to the costumes.

FREE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE A TUTU

People make such a fuss over trying to find free instructions on how to make a tutu or sheer ballerina skirt on the internet. The basic instructions for making a tutu for your baby girl are very easy. Get a length of elastic the size of your little girl’s waist and whip some sheer fabric on it. Some hand sewing experience does come in handy, but it’s a pretty simple do it yourself sewing project for anyone who knows their way around a sewing machine. If you a professional looking tutu for children’s program or pageant, my advice is to contract a skilled seamstress or if that’s too expensive buy a used one.

PATTERN NUMBERS FOR A BALLET TUTU

If you are dying to try your hand at sewing your own ballet tutu, you can buy the out of print Simplicity tutu pattern number 4090 and give it a try if you can find one. I still say, so what if you don’t know how to make your own, there are inexpensive tutus by the dozens in the stores and online so don't sweat the small stuff.
