hoglett Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Where is the best place to buy a nice tutu? It's not for a competition, just to have some photographs taken. Would ideally like to go and try on as I can see you can buy lots online but I'm not sure of size. Thanks. Edited to add : we're in South Derbyshire.

Moneypenny Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 If you don't mind a bit of a trip, Just Ballet in Wisbech have some beautiful tutus. My dd had a bespoke one made by them last year and it is gorgeous. They also have stock tutus and I believe they also hire them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishDancerMum Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 You might consider hiring one?https://www.justballet.co.uk/collections/childrens-costumes-for-hire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 If it's just for one photo shoot I would recommend hiring one. A new, nice hooped tutu will almost certainly cost you several hundred pounds. You could try eBay or some of the buy/sell groups on Facebook for a pre-loved tutu , but then you of course are taking a bit of a risk, unless you find someone local who is selling and can try it on beforehand. Is there anyone in your dance school who might be selling a tutu or able to lend you one? I've either had my DD's tutus made locally or bought online from international sellers like Benefis so I can't personally recommend any UK sellers sorry.The tutus Just Ballet sell and hire do look lovely though I must say - definitely worth a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicmama Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I would also highly recommend Just Ballet. Sheila is amazing, the customer service is excellent. My DD hired a tutu from her and received tons of compliments on it. I just wish we lived closer to Wisbech as my DD would be there all the time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropicmama Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes, I returned the one we hired through post. They sent it to me through post too. I sent them my DD's measurements and Sheila kindly checked to make sure that the tutu was going to fit and it did - perfectly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishDancerMum Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi, Just out of interest, how much does it cost to hire a tutu? Thank you If you go to that site above, there's lots of different options, but this one below is £45 to hire, and it looks like quite an ornate option. https://www.justballet.co.uk/collections/childrens-costumes-for-hire/products/just-ballet-sugar-plum-childrens-professional-tutu-10-12yrs-hire-only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
