Adult Long Tutu Skirt
To make such a product you will need: tulle, light fabric for lining (for example, satin) and a thick elastic band for the belt.
Technique:
It is necessary to cut out a “sun” skirt. To make the appropriate pattern, you only need 2 measurements: the desired length of the product and the waist circumference.
The fabric must be folded 4 times and the required number of parts cut out (the number of layers of the future product must match the number of “suns” cut out).
The fabric for the lining should be cut to the width of your hips.The length should be 5 cm shorter than the length of the future product.
All tulle details need to be collected into one skirt and attached to an elastic belt sewn into a ring. The resulting design should be sewn onto a lining skirt, the edges of which must be hemmed (the tulle does not need to be hemmed).
Advice! If the parts of the skirt have different lengths, it is easy to make a magnificent product similar to a three-tier cake if you sew the longest part closer to the lining, and the shortest one on the outside.
Decor
A similar skirt can be decorated with various decorative elements. Eg, sew down a wide satin ribbon that matches the color of the main material or a contrasting shade. Stitches during the sewing process must be made in the middle of the tape.
The hem can be designed in the form of beautiful waves. To do this, you need to sew a fishing line of medium diameter there in a zigzag. It is recommended to use mode 2 or 3 of the sewing machine for this purpose. In order for the fishing line to hold well, its size must correspond to the size of the stitches.
To make the “American” even more original, you can sew a soft tulle train to the back of the belt. In addition, you can decorate such a product with flounces, frills, braid, beads, bows, flowers, rhinestones and other decorative elements.
A light material such as tulle or organza, designed in the form of a fluffy tutu skirt, will create a romantic look. Little ones will look great in this outfit at any children's party. Adult representatives of the fair sex can wear such skirts under new-look dresses, combine them with leggings, and even wear them in the office in combination with a blazer.
