Fashion for your little girl at your home

If you have a little girl at home you know how active she is. This is the age when she discovers the joys of dressing up and trying to imitate her mom. Long dresses are fine up to a point but an active kid needs clothes that do not hinder movement and also look stylish. The pettiskirt/tutu is perfect in this respect.

When you think of a tutu you think of a ballerina attired in body hugging tights with the tutu providing a frilled, ruffled counterpoint to her skin tight bodywear. Ballerinas may wear tutus with minimal lace and ruffles but the effect when she pirouettes and swirls is dazzling.

A tutu is not necessarily a short dress with minimal lace and ruffles. It can have multiple layers of lace, ruffles and even fur reaching down to the knees or even the ankles but the one most popular is the tutu with ruffles and lace trims reaching just halfway down the thighs to allow for free movement required in dance from where it reached out to become a fashion garment, especially for girl kids.

 Along with a love for dressing up girls also develop a love of dancing and watching themselves in the mirror. Give your little kid girl a pettiskirt/tutu dress, teach her a few dance steps and watch as she pirouettes in front of the mirror, the lace and ruffles swirling and creating a beautiful effect.

There is something elegant and chic about tutu dresses. Perhaps the style quotient goes back to the early 18^th century when ballet dancing developed in royal courts of Europe, particularly France. Dancers wore full length dresses and since these hindered free movement the hemlines climbed higher.

 Marie Camargo is credited with raising the hemlines and set a fashion trend that is still popular and from dancing the tutti has percolated down to general use. Italian and Russian dancers experimented with the tutu and developed interesting variations down the decades.  

Interestingly, tu-tu in French means bottom and as a stylish covering for the bottom, the pettiskirt/tutu is hard to beat. It is so convenient you can get a tutu with faux fur even for your tiny baby and keep her comfortably warmed. The tutu suits everyone: from tiny little tots to girls approaching their teens.

 The good thing about pettiskirt/tutu is that it allows unrestricted freedom of movement when paired with leotards and it can also be styled in a number of different ways. The simplest is a layering of frilled lace on a soft under layer. It can get as complex as you like with sequins and embroidery, frills and even addition of faux or genuine fur. The tutu can be plain or you can have it pleated and falling down a little bit up to the knees where it can literally blossom out in an explosion of gorgeous fur to make your girl look gorgeous.

 From workouts to dancing and from simple lounging about at home to party wear, the pettiskirt/tutu is adaptable and makes you feel and look good. So good that in fact you may want to get up and pirouette just to watch the skirt swirl around you.
