mel Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 DD is off to school in September and they have been told to get a practice tutu. Recommended is Grishko - it's absolutely beautiful - but we can't really afford this along with all the other expenses. Can anyone give recommendations of something more - ahem - budget? I have heard both positive and negative about Bloch - and I think my knowledge kind of stops there... Advice, as ever, gratefully received :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmum Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dd has a Bloch one. As the layers don't come stitched together you will need to do this and dd needs to be in it as you do it. Took a while but you have a captive audience for a great conversation. How much was the Grishko one if you don't mind me asking? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerndancemum Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 my DD had hers made by our local shop - 7 layers and cost £35 - not sure what prices you are looking at but might be worth asking any local shops? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lildancer96 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The Grishko ones are a few hundred pounds but we managed to buy one second hand - worth asking around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 The Grishko at BalletPro (link from Grishko site) is £240. We have no local shops - would probably be online. I have stitched the Bloch ones together before but that would be the extent of my ability. Feel free to pm any shop addresses!

mel Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, I've seen various ones online - wondering about experiences with quality really. I only have experience of the Bloch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have a black, Grishko practice tutu, worn less than half a dozen times if you are looking for second hand? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Would recommend the proffesional practice tutu from just ballet! It's 8 layers and comes fully tacked so it's amazing at keeping it's shape. I had mine for summer school and couldnt be happier with it. Very reasonable price for the quality too just 44.99! All the staff in the shop are very helpful so if you have any problems online just give them a ring and they'll give you all the help you need! Here's a link to the webpage http://www.justballet.co.uk/shop/tutus/just-ballet-professional-practice-tutu-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thank you ana - I looked at it before but wondered about it because I couldn't feel it or see it move (perils of the internet) - this advice is just what I needed. Thanks everyone for the replies. I do appreciate it. (I think Jojo has had a few pms now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
