The Tutu equivalent of a Train Wreck. A little while ago I designed the trashy tutu. To be honest it was supposed to be just my guilty pleasure tutu to twirl around the house in. Well, the phenomena caught on and Ive since sold a bunch to local teens/adults. The Nuclear Waste trashy tutu is made with double layered tulle (about 200 yards) with random strips of black netting and coordinating ribbon thrown in. The tulle is cut to about 12 inches long with some pieces being a different length to add to the distressed look. I use the popular classic width tulle. The tutu gets all scrunched up looking and the netting makes this little number look...well, trashy. I include a Black satin ribbon bow sewn to the waistband for style and add coordinating ribbon mixed in with the tulle/netting. Ill also knot some of the ends of tulle to add to the trashy look. The tutu includes black tulle and acid green tulle and black netting. I can customize the tutu up through a 34 waist. (Womens size 10) Please message me with waist measurement (in inches) at time of sale. Need a different size, special order, color? Message me and Ill create your own custom listing! Custom orders can take between 2-3 weeks to complete. Ill be in contact with you during that time regarding your order and shipping. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the Technique! - All of my tutus are created using a technique that allows for maximum stretch and durability! My tutus are machine sewn on an elastic waistband. I use 1 inch width elastic to allow between 6-8 of stretch in each tutu. About the Fabric! - I use a bridal quality diamond weave nylon tulle in my tutus, wands, wreaths, poms, and Flora clips. This fabric is soft and durable, not scratchy and bulky like hex netting. About the Pouf! - The fullness of my tutus is created by the HUGE amounts of fabric used on each tutu! I use more than 100 yards of fabric on even the smallest infant tutu! This causes the tutu to be fuller on the bottom, and can not be seen through. My mathematical formula allows me to determine exactly how much fabric is needed on each tutu to create consistently poofy tutus! I never skimp on the frill! Most of my tutu styles are made using the same formula. There are however a few styles that I call my half-poof tutus. They use half the tulle as the rest of my tutus and are stated as such and priced accordingly. About the Stretch! - The method and products that I use allow for the waistband to stretch about 6-8 to be easily pulled on and off! My tutus will stretch approximately 6 without distorting the look of the tutu or exposing the waistband, allowing for an average of 3 or more years of growing room! About the Size! - To ensure your tutu is as perfect as possible, please provide waist and length measurements (in inches) at time of sale. If you dont know the exact waist measurement of the recipient, please included the current pant size. About Customization! - All of my tutus are completely customizable! Meaning that you, my dear customer, get to choose what colors of tulle and ribbon youd like, what length youd prefer, and what style of tulle you want to create the perfect tutu for you! Color choices are included with the listings. If you have a custom color request, please message me for details. I am more than happy to work out any details with you!

I use Priority Mail with delivery confirmation through the USPS for all domestic orders unless requested otherwise. You will receive a tracking number upon shipping. Priority Mail is a 2-3 day service, so your order will get to you quickly and safely! International Shipping is available!! Please contact me before sale for a price quote. If you have any questions about shipping, please message me. About the Sewn Method! - Have you ever wondered what the difference is between the sewn and tied method for tutus? Wonder no more! Tied tutus have strips of tulle tied around an elastic or ribbon waistband. All PrincessDoodleBeans tutus have strips of tulle sewn around an elastic waistband! Many tied tutus are not very full. The way they are tied creates the look of fullness, but in actuality they are quite thin. Not so with my tutus!! Another benefit of sewn tutus over tied tutus is the stretch allowance! Because of the lack of fabric on most tied tutus, they will quickly begin to show the elastic or ribbon through the fabric at the waist when stretched out. The tulle strips will also move out of place and the tutu eventually turns into a tangled mess. AHH! The method and amount of fabric I use on my tutus allows them to stretched up to 6-8 without showing the elastic! And the fabric returns to its proper place, ensuring you will get many years of use out of your tutu! However, not all sewn tutus are created equal, either. Many sewn tutus have the fabric sewn directly to the elastic, limiting the amount of stretch and amount of fabric used. *As you can see, a PrincessDoodleBeans tutu is in a class by itself! More full than most tutus on the market (including Tutu Couture for FAO Schwarz!) Very durable for MANY years of wear, and still priced modestly so everyone can enjoy them!! Heres to being TuTu FABulous* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Thank you for buying Handmade!
