Classical Tutu Panty Patterns
There's no real mystery to creating your own gorgeous Classical tutu.
You just need time, skill, knowledge, and a great pattern.
Only you can provide the time and the skills, but for the 'know-how' we recommend Ms. Folts' "The Classical Tutu Book" or "Classical Tutus for Children", or our 'hands-on' "Classical Tutu Construction Seminar".
And for a great pattern, we offer several to choose from. Our tutu panty patterns have been developed over many years of tutu design and construction, and are the very patterns Ms. Folts uses everyday in her own custom designs.
"Adult Classical Tutu 'Standard' Panty Pattern"
This is THE pattern you need for creating a Classical tutu using the instructions detailed in Ms. Folts' "The Classical Tutu Book".
This panty has a 'ballet-cut' leg line, and uses 9 or 10 continuous row lines and panty ruffle lines. The pattern is also perfect for making practice/rehearsal tutu skirts, without the bodice.
This is the pattern required for use with Ms. Folts' "The Classical Tutu Book" (full instructions are incorporated into the book).
Pattern only, without instructions, for use with Ms. Folts' "The Classical Tutu Book",
