Size Guide To Petticoats & Tutus
Double Layered Petticoats
These are designed to be worn sat on the waist and we make the waist approximately ½ inch smaller than the figure you provide as the skirts look better when stretched slightly. As you will appreciate quite a large amount of net (stiff net) is all gathered into the waist so these style skirts are not designed to fit under close fitting garments. They do however look fantastic under skirts/dresses which are cinched/belted in at the waist as they then stand out and give real volume to your outfit. Please bear in mind that the longer the skirt the less it will stand out due to the weight of the net. If you require a very long skirt to stand out the best option is our Rockabilly Tiered Petticoats as these can be made with as many tiers/layers as required.
Rockabilly Tiered Petticoats
These have been pictured on our model sat on the hips but can be worn wherever you choose. Personally I would wear on the waist. We ask that you provide your waist measurement and as the skirt has an elasticated waistband (which we make ½ inch smaller than the measurement you provide) and lycra upper, it will stretch approximately a further 10 inches. If you intend to wear the skirt on your hips please measure the length of your petticoat also from the hips.
Tutu's
Most people will choose to wear their tutu somewhere between their waist and hips. We ask that you provide us with your waist measurement. The tutu will then stretch approximately a further 10 inches which will then allow you to position it to give the correct fit. If you have an unusual hip to waist ratio/measurement please allow for this when measuring. The tutu's look better when stretched a little which is why we don't ask for your hip measurement but if you would like your tutu making to your exact hip measurement, please feel free to use this figure instead.
