Tutus & Skirts

Twirl Through Any Party with Dress Up Tutus for Every Age

A tutu is one of those pieces that can really bring out your inner princess, no matter your age. They're colourful, fun to wear and suit a huge range of celebrations. Whether you're five or forty-five, wearing one to a birthday party, to support your favourite sports team, a fun concert or a Halloween event can make you stand out from the crowd. And as Australia's favourite party supplies store, Spotlight has all the tutus you need for every age and occasion. Be it your child's ballet-themed party or a friend's hen's party, we've got the tutu to match.

What is a Tutu?

A tutu is a structured skirt made from layers of tulle, originally worn by ballerinas on stage. Over time, it moved from the ballet studio into birthday parties, school events and costume boxes everywhere. Today, it comes in two main forms:

• A tutu skirt is a separate piece worn over a leotard, tights or any outfit you already own.
• A tutu dress combines a skirt with an attached bodice for an all-in-one look.

Both styles suit a huge range of occasions. Think princess, fairy and ballet-themed parties, Halloween, Book Week, birthday parties, hen's nights, sports events, adult costume parties and everyday dress-up for kids. It's one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can own.

Find Tutus for Every Age and Look

Spotlight stocks tutus from toddler sizes right through to adult, so the whole crew can dress up together. Our range covers everything from the classic half tutu skirt to a full tutu dress, giving you plenty of options for any look or occasion. We also carry decorated and themed styles. Some feature beautiful layered colours and trims for that extra party factor. There's also a romantic tutu with delicate ruffle layers for a softer, more feminine look. Colour-wise, you'll find pink, white, black, red, purple, blue, rainbow and multi-colour options in our range. No matter the theme or celebration, there's a tutu in our range to help you create a fun and memorable party look.

What Costumes Can I Create With a Tutu Skirt?

A tutu is the perfect starting point for kids' costumes and adult costumes. You can use it to dress up as a:

• Fairy
• Ballerina
• Butterfly
• Unicorn
• Angel
• Bee
• Flamingo
• Swan
• Witch

And the best part? Spotlight also stocks everything you need to complete your look. Pick up tiaras, face and body paint, hair accessories, leggings, wands and tiaras trims to finish off any costume. We also have a huge haberdashery and craft range with ribbons, sequins, and iron-on embellishments. That makes it so easy to personalise a plain tutu to match any theme.

How to Pick the Perfect Tutu

While you might want to choose a tutu based on vibes alone, we recommend taking these three factors into account.

1. Sizing: Measure the waist and hips first, then use age guides as a starting point. It's always a good idea to size up so there's room to move and twirl.
2. Fabric: Soft tulle works well for young children and casual dress-up, giving a fun and fluffy look.
3. Colour and embellishment: Pink works beautifully for a fairy princess. Black suits a witch or gothic look. Yellow and black nails a bee costume. White is perfect for an angel or swan.

Don't forget what goes underneath, either. Fitted shorts or briefs work for casual wear, while a leotard or tights suits more formal or ballerina-style occasions. For winter use, don't forget to use thicker leggings and a long sleeve top to warm up, especially for kids.
