- Waist measurement – because it will sit higher than most waistlines, measure your child around their stomach at the belly button.
- Length measurement – this will be the length of the skirt. Start at the belly button and measure down to where you want the hem to sit. I did it about an inch below the knee.

This is a beautiful skirt. Perfect for a girl who loves the fanciness of tulle without wanting to go over the top :)<br />In the finished picture it looks like there is a trim around the bottom of all the tulle layers- did the tulle come this way?<br />Thanks!
Thank you Heather! I liked the idea of a tulle skirt without being a ballerina! As for your question, you can see in the tutorial, I actually sewed ribbon on the hem, in all six layers to create that look.
I have five granddaughters, can’t wait to make each of them a tulle skirt! Thankyou !
I love this tutorial!! The skirt is absolutely stunning! I will be making one for my daughter very soon. One question – how did it hold up to play? I have seen some skirts that get a little “crunchy” (I can’t think of another word to describe it!) after only a few minutes. Did this skirt seem to keep its shape or look good after being played in? Thanks!!

Each of these 3 skirts have held up very well! They look exactly like the day I made them – which has surprised me, in all honesty. However, I know that tulle does not wash well so I have only spot cleaned as necessary and have not and will not throw them in the washing machine. That would probably yield the crunchy look you speak of.
This is perfect! Like you I have girls with different personalities and I haven’t been able to find outfits that we can agree on, but I am sure my search is over! Thank you!
Would you recommend using the same way of measuring to make adult tulle skirts I need to make some for a wedding.
Does the lining and tulle stretch enough to get on over legs and bottom or do we need to stretch the elastic while sewing it?
Thanks!
