Classical Ballet Tutus
& Dance Costume
"Lilac Fairy Tutu"
Bell shaped tutu designed as a Sleeping Beauty fairy in shades of lilac, green and gold

The "bell-shaped" or "Euro" tutu is an attractive alternative to the classic pancake-shaped tutu. This style replicates a plate tutu during pirouettes and jumps, but adopts a softer shape while still. It has the advantage of being easier to ship in the UK due to the lack of a hoop.

bell-shaped tutu in lilac, green and gold

Unlike the limited colour palette available to the stiff nets used for pancake tutus (approx. 12), the bell-shaped skirt is achieved from softer fabrics with at least fifty shades to choose from. (The example shown contains at least 7 different colours; lilacs, pinks, purples, soft greens and blues).

As with all Rossetti tutus, this costume can be made to your specifications; fabric, decoration and colour can be varied (please enquire). All items are constructed to professional performance standards as used by eg. English National Ballet and Scottish Ballet. As shown this tutu would be around £710 to make, but there are endless design variations possible. Please contact for a quotation.

The tutu, as shown, is currently for sale. In absolutely mint condition, it is available for £300 plus postage. Please contact for exact measurements.
