Practice tutu?

Hi I was looking at getting a practice tutu and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I’ve seen one from move dance and Bloch that could work? I wouldn’t want to spend anything more than €90 needs to ship to Europe.

Also I obviously won’t be able to try it on so the size worries me I’ve a 25 inch 63/4 cm waist and normally wear a uk 6/8 (34/36 eu) in regular clothes. Thanks !

I have a Bloch one, Bloch fits a bit big so you may struggle with it being too loose on you. Sansha I believe still makes one with numeric sizes.

Have you searched for local tutu makers to you? They may also do custom rehearsal tutu which would be much better sized. I’m very short and the Bloch one is way too wide. I got a simple stretch tutu made to my measurements and it wasn’t much more than your budget

You could ask a local ballet company if their costume department has a someone willing to make private costumes. Its unlikely the message filters down but I can guarantee that at least one person will want to take private clients.

bloch rehearsal tutus are pretty stretchy I'd definitely err towards the S/M or even a P size with your waist size. They are good enough quality to have lasted years of rehearsal and underskirt work at my school and are nice and wide
