Customise Cheap Tutus And Make Amazing Ballet Costumes For Your Young Dancers

A tutu is a great costume for a young ballet dancer. Young girl's love the fun Princess feel and parents love that they are an affordable costume for their junior ballerina. There's no need to spend a fortune on an elaborate tutu either. Simple modifications can turn a plain tutu into a beautiful winter wonderland costume, a spring recital outfit or just about anything else. It's not difficult or expensive for even novice sewers to modify a tutu and the same tutu can be updated over and over again for various looks. For example, a ribbon added to either the hem or the belt of the tutu can completely change the feel of the costume and can easily be chosen specifically to match the rest of the outfit.

An ice blue ribbon is a good touch for a winter recital, whereas a pink or yellow ribbon might be a better pick for warmer months. Nor is it necessary to add only one. Two complementary ribbons or ropes can be twined around each other before being added to the tutu for an even more upscale look without spending an upscale price. Sequins can also be sewn on for a bit of sparkle. Two tutus of different colors can be layered for a super full and funky bicolored look. A tutu can even be dyed fairly easily with the right dye, though that requires a slightly more adventurous spirit. For more whimsical costumes a big bow can be added or rosettes sewn on throughout the skirt. Sporty ballerinas can add denim leggings or headbands for a more outdoorsy feel. For the wannabe fairies in the crowd wings can be matched to the tutus easily and for special events there are plenty of tights, shirts, suspenders and headbands that will add the required holiday spirit to the outfit without adding a penny to the cost of the original tutu.

With a little extra effort fabric flowers, bugs and animals can be easily sewn on the top layer of the skirt for a specific theme. Likewise tails can be added and easily removed if a cat costume, for example, is needed. These are all cheap and reversible modifications and will ensure that young ballerinas never have to show up in the same costume twice. For a couple dollars per modification the tutu will feel completely new for each recital, performance or special occasion. Rather than buying new costumes every time a new theme is needed it's easy and cheap just to modify a basic tutu.
