Tutu Length and Sizing

Let's talk about tutu sizing and lengths.  I have a standard sizing chart for my tutu listings and my adult tutus are available in three different lengths.  Since it can be hard to decide on a length and I can only fit 5 pictures in a etsy listing, I'm going to try to show the different looks of the three lengths of tutus in this blog post.  First, this is my sizing chart, the lengths for the girls tutus correspond with the waist size but I do take special requests. 
Size Chart:
0-6 months 13-14"waist 7" length
6-12 months 14-15" waist 7"length
12months to 24 months -16”-18” waist-length 7”
2t/3t -18”-20” waist- length 11”
4t/5t- 20”-22” waist-length 13”
6-7 waist 22”-24”- length 13”
8-10- 24”-25” waist- length 14”

adult sizes available in 9"running tutu length, 14" length or 18" length
Adult Small 25-26"waist,
Adult Medium 27-28" waist
Adult Large 30-32 waist
Adult extra large 34-38 waist
adult 2x large 40-42" waist

The waist measurement is the actual waist.  Many people like to wear their tutus on their hips.  All my tutus are made on a stretchable, no roll elastic waistband and will stretch several inches without ruining the fullness of the tutu, but if you order to your hip size your tutu will most likely be too large.

For adult tutus, I offer three lengths.  The 9" length is perfect for running, a short and sassy, full tutu.  The 14" is the most popular and is full and fluffy, long enough for good coverage but not so long that it will get in the way while running for fun or wearing out and about.  This is a great option for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party- long enough for a costume look but not so long as to interfere with getting on and off ride vehicles.  The 18" is great if you want a more a tutu with more flow and more of a costume look,  but the length will decrease the fullness.  

I don't have an adult model to show the differences in length, but I do have many pictures:)  First off some photos of my daughter with her tutus.  She is wearing 14" tutus in the tween size in these photos and is just over 4 feet tall.  You can see how full the 14"length tutus are!

 Next up, some 9" length tutus.  You can see that they still have a great amount of fullness and are just super cute and sassy!

 Here is a 9" Jack Skellington tutu and a 14" Jack Skellington tutu:

Next, an 18" R2D2 tutu and 14" R2D2 tutu:

 

 I'm going to work on getting more pictures to better show the different lengths.  I love seeing pictures of my customers in their awesome tutus- if you have some you'd like to share, please send them in!  For a limited time use code BLOG10 at checkout and sae 10% in my shop:-)

Bows, Bows, Bows, Bows

First off, thank you for a great year!  2013 was a fun, tutu filled year for me and my etsy shop.  I've had such a great time creating tutus and bows and shipping them out around the country.  I love hearing all the stories and seeing pictures of some super happy sassy girls! This has been my third year on Etsy and by far my biggest and most fun year. Thank you!

The rest of this post is all about the bows. The cherry on top of the outfit or that extra little bit of cuteness. I love the combo of a sweet and cute big bow combined with an unexpected character center.

Just as my tutu inspiration comes mainly from the tutus that my daughter or niece dream up and ask for, my bows are generally offerings of what I've made to match for them or requests I've taken from friends or special orders.  If there is a bow that you've been searching for or a special character- please email me so I can make it:)  

Here are a few of my favorites in my etsy shop:

New

New Year, New goals, new stuff to post about.  I'm rusty and haven't committed words to paper or typing (other than grocery and to do lists) for quite some time.  So I'll start off with some posts of crafty stuff I've been up to.

I've been a Star Wars fan since 1977.  Yep, back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth in the eye's of my kiddos.  My son has been introduced to the Force for quite some time.  My daughter has been exposed- she alternated between Princess Leia and Tinkerbell every Halloween- but this year has marked her obsession with Boba Fett.  Sometimes I feel this could be a sign of my failings as a parent. Both kids love Boba.  The older one thinks Anakin is pretty cool.  I have to say their combo of Boba and Jango Fett at Halloween was pretty awesome.

 

Their birthdays are 1 day apart-one day shy of six years apart- so we alternate between family dinners and a joint party.  This year the big guy turned 13 so I imagine this is the last time I'll be getting away with a joint party.  Since they are obsessed with Star Wars we had a Star Wars themed party.  And since I'm obsessed with making things- I'm sharing some of the printable goodies I made!

I made labels for all the food with Star Wars fonts

 Download the set here:3http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/2FeKlUnI/_online.html#dir=645924923
Some of the food we had: Sarlac pit dip- smoky tuna dip with gummy worm tentacles and carrot sliver teeth,
Mandalorian Meatballs- sweet and sour meatballs in the crockpot
Tatooine-ies- lil smokies with BBQ sauce
Dark side cookies: boba fett cookies made with cutters from Williams and Sonoma
Cloud city cake pops- cake pops
Hoth Cocoa- do it yourself style- Cocoa in a thermos dispenser with whipped cream, caramel sauce, marshmallows and peppermints to flavor
Yoda Soda- sprite with lime sherbet served with a wedge of lime
Dagoba swamp gel- lime jello with gummy worms and fish

Cupcake toppers made from 1"circles and toothpicks:

Printed on 4 by 6 photo paper and used a 1" circle punch- get the printable here:http://www.4shared.com/office/x8mk27un/star_wars_outlines_4_6.html
