Black Cat Tutu Halloween Costume - Obsidian Kitty - Black Custom Sewn 3 Tiered 15" Pixie Tutu w/ Cat Ears & Tail - Girls sizes 6 to 8 or up to a 24" waist.

This listing is for a 15" 3 tiered sewn pixie tutu. This beautiful tutu is made in all black tulle in a pixie cut style, to create the look of fur. Also included is a set of black furry cat ears on a headband with a matching detachable tail. *The exact style may vary from photos, based on availability.

This tutu will be custom made for you in any size up to girls size 8 or a 24" waist. Include a waist measurement for a perfect fit. :-)

How to Measure:
My tutus are made to be worn low on the waist. The best way to measure for the waistband is to measure around the low waist/high hip area. To determine the length needed, measure from the same spot at the waist, down to where you want it to fall. Keep in mind you may want a little extra length to cover in the back. With the pixie cut tutus the last 3" of fabric doesn't provide adequate coverage, so you may want to add another 3" to the measurement you get for the overall length of the tutu. Feel free to contact me if you need any further instruction.

Technique and Materials:
All of my tutus are created using a technique that allows for maximum stretch and durability!
My tutus are machine sewn on an elastic waistband.
I use a high quality diamond weave nylon tulle. This fabric meets all current standards for childrens clothing.

Fullness:
The fullness of my tutus is created by the large amounts of fabric used on each tutu. I use more than 100 yards of fabric on even the smallest 12" tutu! This causes the tutu to be fuller on the bottom, and can not be seen through! The poofiness and lift of my tutus is created by the fabric filling in from the bottom and pushing the top up higher and higher, creating a round, full tutu. I use a formula that allows me to determine exactly how much fabric is needed on each tutu to create the fullest tutus! I never skimp on the fabric! You will always receive a very full and fluffy tutu, and your tutu will only get fuller and fluffier the more it is loved! ;-)
Most of my tutu styles are made using the same formula. This system creates a flat top and a very full round tutu underneath. Extra full tutus have more fabric packed on creating a bit more lift at the top, achieving an even rounder look. All 6" tutus are created in the extra full method unless requested to be less full. All other "extra full" tutus will be described as so and priced accordingly.

Stretch Allowance:
The technique and products that I use allow for the waistband to stretch about 12" to be easily put on and taken off! Little girls can put them on and take them off, all by themselves! This also makes it easier to fit over jeans and diapers!
My tutus will stretch approximately 6" without distorting the look of the tutu or exposing the waistband, allowing for an average of 3+ years of growing room!

Sizing:
To ensure a perfect fit, please provide measurements with your order! Due to the technique I use, measurements are not neccessary, although always recommended! If not providing measurements, please include the current standard pant size the child is wearing.

Available in sizes 0-3 months up to 4/5.
Please specify size and color with your order.
Include a waist measurement for a perfect fit!
Adult sizes are available at an additional cost.

Accessories:
All accessories are made to be removable! I designed my tutus this way to allow for them to be more easily cleaned, stored, and traveled with. This great feature allows you to mix and match your accessories! You can wear the bow alone, or the flower without the bow! You can position the bow in the back and the flower on the front, you can attach either item to a shirt to create the look of a matching set, or even wear the accessories in your hair! This feature also provides the opportunity to buy additional flowers and bows to give it a different look for multiple events!

Embellishments:
Rhinestones, flowers, glitter, ribbons, and anything else you can imagine can be added to any tutu at an additional cost. Contact me if you would like to add embelishments.

Shipping:
Your tutu will be shipped in a roomy box. It will be carefully packed with the accessories unattached, so your items will arrive in the best condition possible! Instructions will be included to explain just how to care for your tutu, including how to remove any kinks created from shipping, and how to attach your accessories! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. :-)

Sewn vs. Tied/Knotted Methods:
I often get asked what the difference is between a tied or knotted tutu and a sewn one.
Tied tutus have strips of tulle tied around an elastic or ribbon waistband. My tutus have strips of tulle sewn around an elastic waistband!
Many tied tutus are not made to be very full. The way they are tied causes the tulle to stick out, creating the look of fullness, but in actuality, it is very thin and essentially a "belt" of tulle.
Another deals benefit of sewn tutus over tied tutus is the amount of stretch allowed! Because of the lack of fabric on most tied tutus, they will quickly begin to show the elastic through the fabric at the waist, when stretched out. They will also begin to have the strips move out of place and the tutu inevitably becomes a jumbled mess. The technique and amount of fabric I use on my sewn tutus allows them to be stretched up to 12" without showing the elastic band! And the fabric will always return to it's proper place, ensuring you will get many years of use out of your tutu!
However, not all sewn tutus are created using the same technique, either. Many sewn tutus have the fabric sewn directly to the elastic, severely limiting the amount of stretch. This also limits the amount of fabric able to be attached to the waistband, making them much less full.


**Flowers, bows, headbands, and all other accessories are subject to availability. These items, when included, are included free with your tutu purchase.
