When the principle ballerina wears a tutu it can be decorated by a top

could include intricate sewing patterns (sometimes zig-zagged) using
invisible thread and then cut outs in the pattern, and then glittery
jewels and beads were sew on to decorate the plateau.

I'm so far out of my league... I did know a woman who worked for a
fashion house that specialized in stripper costumes. One of their
hottest sellers was a pubic hair wig for the performers in Boston's
Combat Zone. Is that anything like a tutu?



hahaha! Here's one photo of a ballerina *in her tutu:

The tutu is the skirt like garment that is made of stiff netting that
sticks out.

For a plateau, picture a flat decorated layer that rests on top of the
netting similar to this:

This is what I did - made the decorated plateau of a principle
ballerina's costume. Swan Lake was one of the ballets I did that for.

I swapped photos and forgot to edit ^ this text.
