Update of the Month....

OMGOSH!!!!
It's been a whole entire month since I last ranted on here. Ok, a month and a day.
Time for some updates. I'll try to make this quick and painless.

Nicole Lynn was the winner of the custom Ultra Poof tutu on my Facebook give-away! She chose the colors Apple Green and Purple for her 4 year old daughters FREE tutu! Adorable.

I've been up to the tippy top of my head in custom orders lately! Not that I'm complaining...cause I'm NOT. I love that my quirky sweet FABulous boutique is taking off running. I'm running right behind it (in a trashy tutu, I might add.) I've completed a Ballet Style wedding tutu, a Classic Style wedding tutu, and created my first Reversible Ballet Style tutu for a customer in California. (now listed on Etsy) Then came a special birthday order for an awesome mom (Trashy Tutu) and her 4 year old daughter (Flower Power tutu set).

I'm currently working on three sweet streamer wands for a couple of flower girls and will begin creating a Red mid-length classic tutu for a local teen to model in a photo shoot next week! I'm thinking a modern re-take on Little Red Riding hood will be a perfect theme for this creative and poetic little lady.

Before I go back into the studio for more late night inspiration on this most festive Tutu Tuesday, I'll leave you with a little teaser of upcoming items that will be added to the Boutique in the near future...............................................................................................................................................................

are you still waiting?

How 'bout now??

Coming soon.... Custom bridal fascinators, veils, and hair clips. OOOOOH!!! I know. You just have to go out and scream it from a mountain-top now.

So long my sweets,

So Ready...Set...*Be Tutu Fabulous*

It's All About the TUTU <3

For all that are interested...(which I'm assuming is ALL OF YOU!)
My wedding tutu is being featured in a Fabulous online article along with a couple other Etsy shops with adult tutus. They truly aren't just for girls and ballerinas anymore. Check out these wonderful picks at the following address: http://hellowendysgems.com/

Wendy does such a superb job of highlighting the best in handmade :)

Make up your Mind!

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but little girls tend to be a tad contradictory. One day their favorite color is Pink, the next day, Purple. I tend to notice these eccentricities more than most because I have three of them in close proximity to myself ALL DAY LONG!
As creator of some fabulously frilly tutus, I thought maybe I would make one that would stand the test of time (at least for a couple days) by making it versatile. Thus the Reversible Tutu was formed.
Actually, what got me into the studio to create it was a message from a bride-to-be inquiring about color choices for her two little flower girls. She wanted something in Purple and Silver that didn't get washed out...a tutu where the Purple would pop, but still have a hint of silver.
Problem solved with the Reversible Tutu.

We both loved how the colors blended. How she could choose which side would be displayed and later on the girls could flutter around the countryside in which ever color they were most fond of.
Crisis averted. Customer happy. Designer Thrilled!
(and all this before breakfast)

The above pics. are of the two that I created for the wedding. I'm sure we'll have many more to come!

So whether her colors are pink and purple, blue and yellow, black and white, mint and maize. This tutu is sure to last a very long time (or until her colors change....again)

Here Comes the.....Wedding Tutu!

Rain...Rain......rain rain rain rain....r a i n .........

We've seen our share of the water droplets the past week. Not that I'm complaining...cause I'm not! We need the rain like we need to breathe...but it makes it hard to take tutu pics when it's constantly drippy. Maybe I should do a mermaid/fish tutu. *thinking out loud*

So, I've had many teenagers calling me lately. Not to babysit for my 3 girls, but to model tutus. I've been having to practically beg my daughters to put a tutu on so I can get some photos. ("would you like a cookie?" or "You can stay up an extra hour if you act like a ballerina") They're probably sick of tutus....

But call after call, message after message is from a young aspiring model. Love it!

I "kidnapped" one young lady last week for modeling purposes. An awesome red-headed beauty from our youth group. (also one of our babysitters, ha!)

I had her in the Custom wedding/prom tutu. (now on Etsy...btw) I used our backyard as the backdrop for the pictures, and as always, neither the model or the scenery disappointed.

400 yards of black tulle were used on the wedding tutu shown. This one was 28 inches long...and that's the shortest length for this style of tutu. You can imagine how much tulle would be used in the long length of 36".

In the works is a Spring/Summer collection of children's tutus, with the theme for Spring being:

Sherbet.

The colors and styles will reflect this deliciousness! yummy.

Until then,

*Be Tutu Fabulous*

A Rainbow of Possibilities

Everyone loves choices, right? Of course you do. Well, here are the color choices for tulle and ribbon for a custom tutu order. With the ribbon you can also choose between satin (this is the comfy choice for the waistband...very smooth.) and organza (gives the tutu a sophisticated feel. perfect for tutu dresses, flower girl skirts, and other posh events.) Really, the possibilities are endless. A single color tutu is very dramatic. Most of my custom orders have between 1 and 3 color choices, but feel free to contact me for more options. If you can dream it, I can probably create it.

Until then,

*Be Tutu Fabulous*
