Wedding preparations (Flower-girl tutu)

I wanted my flower girls to wear tutu but can't find it at any stores so decided to do it on my own. Isn't it beautiful? I chanced upon a photo with black tutu which looks absolutely awesome, but since it's for wedding, black is really not preferred in our traditional.

You-Tube around for a lot of 'how to DIY a tutu' videos. This video was quite helpful and it wasn't too long nor difficult to understand. Check this out if you are keen to do one for your occasion too.

How to make a no sew Tutu

After having a brief idea on what was required, I asked for my flower girl measurements such as the waist size and the length from waist to kneecaps to ensure that the tutu will not be too long or short.

Finally took a step out to make things possible and went shopping at Arab street for material. I thought it's gonna be difficult to find tutu materials but apparently not. Managed to find after visiting 2 shops with reasonable pricing and saw the exact material and colors that I want.

Did a sample to see how will blue match with pink but guess it couldn't blend in somehow. 

Did another sample with blue and other colors to lighten the blue tone which soften the overall blueish effect. 

Note: There are a few types of materials for tutu and some were really sturdy and could make a perfect no-frills tutu but it's gonna be too thick and uncomfortable to wear on. I took a mixture of thick and soft material to ensure that my girls will feel comfortable while wearing it instead of getting pokes by the harsh tutu strips. 

Here my end product: 

I tired one with full pink and another with a touch of blue.

Cute little male model

Sneaked my way to put on the little prince when he was sleeping... but got caught shortly! Opps.

Sobs, I'm a boy, please remove that skirt on me please............. 

 

Bought this top at Chinatown for them to match with the tutu~ Was deciding between the following 2 but chose the white design as it looked cuter! Searched for a long long time before i found a matching top! Whew... another item down!

  

 Looking forward to see my little flower girls on the actual day!
