Complete your tutu, dress, skirt, or other costume with a custom bodice. This Ballet Bodice Two Class offers your choice of several very different style and complexity selections, with options for creating both woven-fabric and stretch-fabric bodices, as well as our newest “hybrid technique.” Project choices include 6, 8, 9, 10,12, and 16-piece design choices, plus a peasant-style. Fabric choices include bengaline, brocade, spandex, stretch velvet, and our gorgeous, new stretch taffetas and brocades.

Bodice Two is a continuation of Bodice One, adding more stitching techniques, including corded seams, stretch cording top edge finishes,  different skintone inset and overlay techniques, attaching boning to both linings and seam allowances, and choices between invisible closures, double-row bar closures, or lace-up closures.  We will discuss each type of closure so you can make an educated choice as to what closure will work best for your specific needs.  We prefer that you complete Bodice One before taking Bodice Two, unless you have made corseted bodices before, using proper flatlining techniques and have detailed pictures you can email us.

SHIPPING COSTS

Tutu.Com offers free, domestic ground shipping to the 48 contiguous United States, up to $20, on orders costing $149 and up. This free option covers about 85% of orders. For very heavy orders that cost $149 or more, the first $20 of your shipping will be free. We will invoice you for any shipping amount over $20. Once shipping is paid, your order will go out. Our minimum domestic shipping charge for orders under $149 is $14.95 for Ground, and $37 for 1 to 3 day Express/Expedited, depending on where you are in the US. Free shipping option is not available for Express/Expedited shipping. Base International shipping charges are Canada: $42.00 USD. All other countries: $70.00 USD. If your base-rate/minimum shipping charge does not cover the cost to ship your order, we will bill additional shipping charges when your order is ready to ship.

We have several base rates for classical tutus that must be shipped in over-sized boxes. Actual costs can run between $40-$70 in the continental U.S., more in some places. We will always research what is the least expensive way to safely ship your items. We will also insure costumes for their full value. This will add to the cost, but not too much. All custom costumes are shipped with signature required when delivered. This is for your protection.

If you require a shipping cost estimate prior to placing your order, please email us at orders@tutu.com and we will be happy to estimate your shipping charges.

TRACKING & INSURANCE

Unless otherwise requested, orders shipped within the US, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and most US Territories and Military addresses, are sent via UPS Ground shipping (2-6 day) with tracking. You will receive an email with your package's tracking number so that you may track it. UPS provides insurance for the first $100 of an order. If your order cost is higher, we will automatically insure it for the total. There is an extra charge when we do this, but it is minimal.

PROCESSING TIME

We strive to ship in-stock items within two Business Days after we receive your order. (This does not include custom-made items, like tutus and other costumes, which require a lead time and are shipped when completed. Also, orders which include fabric-cuts or custom-dying may require an additional time, but we will always let you know how long it will take.) All orders are shipped FOB Charlotte, NC USA.

INTERNATIONAL

For destinations outside the United States, delivery times are dependent on your destination country and on your local postal and customs services. Customs delays are not the responsibility of Tutu.Com. Our shipping rates do not include any customs charges that may be imposed by your country's customs regulations.
