tutu

A tutu is a short, stiff skirt worn by ballet dancers, typically made of multiple layers of tulle or net fabric that project outward from the waist.

The classic tutu creates a disk-like silhouette that allows audiences to see the dancer's leg movements: She adjusted her tutu before the performance.
