HOW TO MAKE A TUTU STIFF (PANCAKE TUTU) 

This is a great idea! BUT, if someone can't be bothered to do the wire, or doesn't want wire on their tutu, when I was doing a dance recital what we did to get our tutu's stiff was to hold them upside down and coat them with strong hair spray!

I'm a seamstress, and maybe if you put the wire BETWEEN the two bottom layers it won't show so much? Great idea!

put the wire on the next layer up and quilt the tutu, so no wire will show even when doing upside down moves.

No problem! It was definitely frustrating trying to figure out how to make it stiff. Happy dancing :D

Oh, you're from TORONTO! That explains your superior knowledge of tutus & wire. Thank you for this tutorial.

It’s called a pancake tutu skirt. I think this is super cute and very helpful. I’ve made tulle skirts but never knew how to help make stay up. Thank you 😊

Lol " do u have floppy tutu syndrome ?" 😏

I don't plan on wearing a tutu (floppy or stiff) anytime soon, mainly because I don't have one, but I just watched this whole video because I absolutely love you guys!

If you put the hoop between the layers and stitch through the layers you won’t see the wire 😉

Thank you for making this video! I've been wanting to make a Princess Tutu cosplay for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do about the underskirt of the dress which is basically a pancake tutu.

Great tip! Thank you :)

they're also called Russian tutus :)

Oh wow I never knew that!

@autographtips Thankyou! Happy Valentines day to you too :) Hope you get more chocolate than we did.... -___-

Great video and idea! My tutu flips over become upside down when I jump ! The underwear is revealed as a result. How to keep the tutu staying flat and stiff ?

its so cute!!! :D

I found a professional ballerina tutu for 35 dollars should I get it

Does anyone know if the tutu linked on Amazon actually has the "bloomer" type piece already attached or is that something that I'll have to make separate? (I'm talking about that solid yellow material that comes up over the tutu and kind of make a bikini bottom underneath. That part is super important.)

They have a malabar in Ottawa too so they might be all over Canada. :)

any chance to see it in use to see what it would look like when dancing? :)

where did you get that tutu?

I can use any tutu right?

Thanks for the tutorial. Looks nice.. especially for show. :) I bet the wire won't show and it will look great on stage. I usually buy mine from Energetiks store. But this one will be nice for my daughter's show next month!

Wow cool!

thank you I use it at home and I have a high cut leotard to go with it

this worked wonderfully at first!! but after a while, when the tutu was worn several times, it stopped working, it went floppy again =~ i tried changing the wire, but it didnt help.. does anyone know why? =)

brilliant~!

what is the name of the song playing?

Top Tip - Thanks !

Thanks for the good idea.

thanks for the tuturial

How do u wash it?

I second this comment: Does anyone know if the tutu linked on Amazon actually has the "bloomer" type piece already attached or is that something that I'll have to make separate?

if you dont like the totally stiff version thats completely up like that, you can hold them up and do some hairspray whenever you want to use it.

Can you please make a vodeo of how to make a eos bie

Yay for DANCE!

Interesting. The idea can be applied to a cosplay costume of the DC comic Teen Titan Kole.

11 years ago hahaha!!!!! cooll!

i was wondering how you sew it on the tutu

Can you make tutu (two color pink and black) please

What if your not as tiny as you guys, si they have bigger sizes?

You can also use a starch soak.

Can you just tape the wire to the tutu?

i actually did do odile and odette with a friend and we did it ourselves

can you make the nutcracker tutu?

how much wier do we need

U guys should make a racebav

links in the description! :)

can you just use tacky spray?

Why is the color yellow. I wanna pink one

there called platter tutus

Theres a channel on youtube stealing your videos. Goes by Joan M. Labrie.

I am only JUST trying similar method, since getting load of narrow-gauge [2.6 mm] hooping. (After my previous comment of 7 yrs ago, made hoop underskirt of PVC material & 10mm steel boning: whereby casing for hoop was sewn via the hem. Then interfaced skirts of velcro fastening worn over [got notes on my Facebook for making]). But now with THIS method [which I thought would be suitable for tutus & circle skirts of ELASTICATED waist]: am wondering how the sewing is going to proceed; since Not much of that is shown in the video. I assumed you would just be tacking that on (ie, just going round in a few equally-distanced spots); but just now trying: seems the skirt goes out-of-shape. I had even worked out how to tack-on using button-sew feature on sewing machine [thereby saving myself months of sewing-by-hand]: so shame it Never worked out.

Steam each layer of the tutu once that is done you sew all the layers together but not all at once

Subbed

thaaaaaanks

How do you hide the wire tho? Cuz I need a cheap on for my dance show

I got a Grishko tutu for my birthday!!! is was $300

lol sorry just have to say it... "i't hurts my brain" lol that was funny dumb sounding lol. You should make your own tutus! cheap easy and so fun!

Can't you just hairspray it?

I am making another version to make a stiff tutu

I don't think they meant hopefully your hips are wider than your stomach, I'm about 100% sure they meant hopefully your HIPS are wider than your HIPS are length wise, which would be what was so funny
