Courtesy of my Mama! These are the tutus that are worn in ballets such as Giselle - the long, floaty bell-shaped ones that come down past the knee. You will need: Ribbon Measuring tape Fine silk or nylon tulle Snaps Thread Sewing machine Scissors Needle Fabric Measure the waist and side length from waist to just below the knee. Cut a piece of wide ribbon to the length of the waist measurement, plus 1 1/2 inches. Attach two snaps on each end, the ribbon should fit snugly but not too tightly…
