When I worked at Ballet Met in Columbus, Oh, right out of college, I was able to experience how real tutus are made. 20 years later, I am now making one for a very young cousin. I used a pair of pink stretch shorts as my foundation garment. Then graded the netting and staggered each layer two inches apart. Each layer is also connected and stabilized to the next layer with a crochet thread tag. Smallest layers are underneath to create a foundation and lift for the longest layers on top. It was a time consuming project, but a pleasure to remember the process of tutu making!
