How to Make a Halter Tutu Dress: Version 2
Posted on 13. Nov, 2008 by Trish in Tutorial
A little while back, I wrote a post on how to make a halter tutu dress. I showed how to make two layers by tying them one at a time.
Well, since then I have figured out how to make the two layers using one single knot.
First, criss-cross the two colors.
Then pull the ends of the same colors together.
Place the layer underneath the elastic, with the top color on top
(this is what it would look like on the back of the elastic)
Then tie the tulle in a square knot.
This is what it looks like on the back of the elastic.
If you want more detail instruction on how to make a halter tutu dress, make sure to check out my first post. This one is just an alternate way to make a layered dress. You don’t have to make one layer shorter than the other like I did in this tutu dress, but you can if you want. Some people like to use two different colors, like a pink and a white, and this will create those two separate colors, also making it a reversible tutu. One day you can wear it with the white on top, and another with the pink on top, for example. Or you could mix up the colors to make it look more subtle. I’m trying to make one with flowers too to show you what that would look like. Once again you can finish the top with a boa, flowers, or even ribbon.
Here is a reversible tutu I made, with dark pink on the top, and light pink on the bottom.

I haven’t, but I saw someone who made one with the crochet looking headband and just tied the tulle in the bottom holes and it was adorable!

I’m very confused on how to tie the knot, can someone please help me. Also should both colors start out the same length? I want my tutu to look like the above pink/white one, all the same length when done.

Yes they should both be the same length to start with if you want them to be the same length at the end. As for the knot you use one color for one end, and the other color for the other. I’m not sure how else to explain it.

Did u use both colors to tie the knot or just the bottom color? I’m having a little bit of trouble. Ty!

Yes, you use both colors to tie the knot.
