This is a new "Rossetti" classical ballet tutu - available for sale to any dancer who fits it properly.
As with all Rossetti tutus, once this costume has been sold, it can still can be made-to-measure to your specifications;
fabric, decoration and colour can be varied (please enquire). At present, this costume can be reproduced exactly. Shown above (on a slightly too small dress stand!), this tutu was cut to a "recipe" retained from a costume made-to-measure for a nine/ ten year old White Lodge associate; ie, a child with near ideal balletic proportions.
The bodice and skirt overlay are embellished with gold appliqué-work and beaded with gold sequins which constantly sparkle as the dancer moves.
If you would like to try this tutu on it would fit a small 9 or 10 year old (approximately): 25" chest, 23" diaphragm, 24" upper hip, 26" largest part of hip, waist approx. 21"-22". The skirt is 11.75" - measured out from the hip to the edge of the net. All of these measurements are approximate. I am often asked to part with tutus without meeting the dancer it is intended for; I would strongly recommend making an appointment to try the costume on (over a leotard and tights, please). Small variations in back length and waist to hip length can greatly affect the fit of a costume, even if the dancer's bust, hips and waist measurements are identical to the actual tutu.
A tutu with this amount of decoration is £490 to buy as shown; or £570 made-to-measure to order - including colour variations.
