Adjustable Elasticised Skirt Band - Dance First’s Half Tutu has an adjustable elasicised skirt band that fits a broader range of hip measurements and can be adjusted to accommodate the growing child. This 1 inch wide elasticised band is fitted inside and below the top net layer and thus is not visible and blends seamlessly with the leotard. The positioning and proportioning of the tutu skirt is vital in the presentation of the ballerina. The Dance First Half – Tutu and Tutu Leotard combination can be positioned to reflect the proportions of the individual dancer.

Traditional Stitching – Many larger dancewear manufacturers use seaming and stitching techniques that are more suitable for casual swimwear, and do not give the fit that is required for rigourous movement. Dance First dancewear is designed and manufactured to provide maximum stretch and confidence of fit.

High Quality European Net and Lycra – Dance First Tutus use only the best net and lycra to ensure a firm tutu and leotard form that will maintain its shape. Our net and lycra is thus sourced from renowned manufacturers in Europe.

Please note: Dance First Tutus are made to order and thus take up to 4 weeks to deliver. Should you require your tutu earlier please Contact Us.
