Aurora Tutu - Tutu.com Design Doherty

You Dream it. We Create it.

This Custom Classical Tutu with 12-piece, Russian-style, Longline Bodice was made using many products available through Tutu.com. Design team for this beautiful tutu was headed up by our Shop Manager, Summer Collins. All of our custom designs feature various embellishments that are either purchased or custom-made specifically for each particular design. 

It is important to us that each custom design client gets something special, made with the energy and personality of that particular dancer in mind.  Keeping that thought at the forefront of our minds, Tutu.com’s creative team works hard to get to know our clients through emails, phone conversations, exchanging pictures of tutus the client likes and does not like, and sending out various fabric samples and ruffled nets and tulles.  All of this allows us to get to know our client’s personality. 

Keep in mind, this level of personal attention takes time.  Be sure to allow six to eight weeks minimum when ordering a fully embellished, one-of-a-kind tutu.  We strive to always remember that you, the dancer, are the star of the show, not the tutu.  Our job is to be a part of YOUR creative team, working towards making your performance the best in every way possible. 

We are very happy to share with you the exact materials we used to create our designs.  However, keeping in mind our commitment to give each client a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, we keep some secrets regarding how we put those materials together, or where we purchased/how we made the special embellishments, etc. that are not sold through Tutu.com.

Miss Doherty’s “Aurora” started with a mix of tutu nets and tulles from our vast collection. Products listed below were used in it's design or are recommended substitutes or options.

Bodice

• The Bodice was a custom-dyed light European Pink (peachy) brocade, no longer available, however Pale Pink Brocade with Gold Metallic Accent SKU 620-1000-065052 is a great substitute and would work very well!

• 12-piece Russian-style Longline Bodice Pattern by Claudia Folts SKU 220-109
