Classical Ballet Tutus
& Dance Costume
"Aurora" Tutu
(pink/silver)
pink and silver brocade tutu with silver lace over pink net skirts
A brand new "Rossetti" classical ballet tutu - available for sale to any dancer who fits it properly.

Shown in colours suitable for "Aurora" solos or the "Sugar Plum Fairy", the bodice of toning brocades is extremely flattering. The vertical lines of piping and silver lace trims kid the eye that the waist is even smaller than in reality! The pink and white net skirt (hooped for "pancake" effect) is overlaid with silver lace, highlighted with light-reflecting sequins.

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).
All items are constructed to professional performance standards as used by the major UK ballet companies.

If you would like to try this tutu on it would fit (approximately) a 32"- 33" chest, 32" upper hip, 35" largest part of hip, waist approx 26"- 27". The skirt is 16.5" - quite a long skirt, so would suit someone
of 5' 3" or taller. All of these measurements are approximate - 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 bust, hips and waist are identical to the actual tutu.

A tutu with this amount of decoration is £560 to buy as shown; or £590 to order with the lace top-skirt; £500 with an ordinary skirt.
 

Please note, this is a plate-shaped tutu - not a bell-shaped one, as suggested by several enquiries! Perhaps the photographs above led to this misconception.
