Tulle

Nylon Tulle My wife likes to buy nylon tulle to create tutus for costumes for her and her friends. When she first started she was having a difficult time making them look professional. Her problem was the way that the lengths of tulle were attached. she was trying to tie each piece to one long piece and squishing them together. The client would need to tie it around their waist like a belt. Needless to say, this was slightly insufficient so she had a great though not so novel idea, to use a length of elastic instead. With the elastic, the tutus looked much more professional. Anyways, if there's anyone out there that cares...

Would be great to have a link to an actual pic of a finished tutu, instead of three separate links to the same tulle site.

Can you tell us a story about her difficulties when she first started?

Where are the goddamned tutu photos? I love tutus.
Also, I'm pretty sure that is already how most tutus are made.

I'm very disappointed that there were no actual completed tutu pictures.

This is a sentence I never thought I'd encounter outside a game of Mad Libs.

Me.
I figure that spammers are just misguided fools in need of a little Internets TLC.
