Giving it a go - Fashion Skirts

Being a 'fashion designer' at heart I thought I'd give the current trends a go! We make skirts everyday so I thought, why not?

Hand Dyed Ombre Skirt

so easy to do and can be done in many colours!

I wanted a tie dye skirt look but I found this fabric by accident and fell in love with it!

My mum says it looks more like a weather map but I love the bright colours and the pattern, looks super on a hot day and my gorgeous cousin makes it look amazing!

I wanted a super hero skirt for myself that no one else had! I love the pop art trend but hate being seen in something that everyone else has. Cute pop art POW skirt for the super hero trend!

Keep tuned - never know what's next for the Tutu Factory :)

Springtime Magic Flower Dress Floral Costume

I've been throwing this idea around for a while, I'd seen an image on Instagram and Pintrest that had put the idea into my head but I'd just not had the time and thought it would take me a while to create but I finally made the jump and went and brought lots of artificial flowers (quite cheaply I may add!) with certain colours in mind. The lady at the counter even commented on my lovely selection although she did look a little shocked when I said I was creating a dress!

I've a fair few corsets lying around so I didn't need to wait around on that, added some draped dress net around the bottom of the corset and off I went! Below are a few 'progress' shots to help see how I achieved the look. I pinned them all in place first to see where I wanted them to go and then hand sewed it all later.
