How long does a tutu take to make?
After years of practice, if constructed non stop, an undecorated tutu (bodice, basque, knickers and skirts) will take three days to make from cutting to completion, with possibly a day or two of decoration beyond that. This is an averagely decorated tutu and does not include time spent on fittings. You also need to take into account that you are not the only person I am working for. A recent prospective tutu purchaser expressed shock that eleven weeks notice was not sufficient time in which to make a costume, when it stated on this site that they can be constructed in three days! She had not considered the other orders I would be deftly fitting around each other, not to mention orders for wedding gowns which have been planned months and sometimes years ahead. I hate to disappoint and I also hate it when people get angry (!) but if you wish to have a tutu made at short notice (three months or less) you need to have a fairly clear idea of what you want, or be ready to make quick decision
