For a Great Tutu Halloween Costume

Here's how we made our Goth Tutu with three layers of duct tape.  This required two rolls of black and one of purple.

You can use all one color --- we used purple for demonstration purposes only.  In that case you could use two rolls of your chosen color.

• Sheek, sleek catlike duct tape bodice with tulle skirt.
• Wear with leggings and great duct tape dungeon boots.
• Okay ... more narrative later but think the images say it all:
• Still have not finished the top but this is the Goth Tutu in process.
•  Tulle on left ... net on right of mannequin. 

Front and back before finishing the top of bodice.

We wanted to let you decide if you liked the tulle or net better so we did both. 

Select an old t-shirt, because this will go next to your skin. You want as much comfort as possible. You can use Saran wrap but that is not all that comfortable.

Pull the t-shirt tight and cut up the back. Cut away the excess. It does not matter if there is an overlap. You can trim this when you cut the bodice/corset off.

Begin wrapping horizontially from the bottom to the top. Overlap the duct tape by half.

Smooth out bubbles.

When done with first layer add drinking straws for boning. We took a bread, went to Mc Donald's and got some straws!

Place the straws with a small piece of tape to hold individually.

The second layer is added vertically. We have used purple for contrast. You can use the same color.

Use small strips in the curvey areas.

Smooth out bubbles.

You can see the boning, drinking straws. These give the bodice - corset another dimension which we really liked.

Third layer is your choice: horizontal or vertical. We chose horizontal and black.

Finish off the top to make more sturdy.

Beginning to attach the tulle skirt.  With duct tape, of course.

Gather tulle or net with your hands and tape on to the bottom of the corset.

After it is attached go back with two or three more layers of duct tape to secure.

Wear with leggings.
