A practical breakdown of classical ballet costume-making

Amanda Hall organizes tutu construction around three core elements: the plate, bodice, and decorative sections. The guide addresses the competing practical demands of ballet costuming—building an outfit light enough for performance while also making it comfortable, durable, and appropriate to a particular character. Alongside construction guidance, it foregrounds the specialized skills involved in translating classical ballet’s familiar silhouette into a working stage costume.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Costume-makers interested in classical ballet garments
  • Sewers seeking a focused guide to tutu construction
  • Design and textile students exploring performance costume

Book overview

Making Tutus is a practical guide to making these traditional costumes for classical ballet dancers. As with the tutu itself, the book approaches the task in three parts - the tutu plate, the bodice and the decorative sections. It shares the secrets of a leading costume-maker as it explains the challenging task of, on the one hand, creating a light and beautiful ballet outfit suitable for performance and, on the other, making a comfortable and hardwearing costume that suits a character. In doing so, it reveals the extraordinary talent and techniques required by the costume-maker.
