tutus

Frilly dance garments

Tutus are the short, stiff skirts worn by ballet dancers, made of multiple layers of tulle or netting that project outward from the waist.

The classic tutu creates a disk-like silhouette that allows audiences to see the dancer's leg work.

Longer, softer versions are called romantic tutus: The corps de ballet entered in matching white tutus.
