Veronica, thanks so much for the instructions! I think I like the first option the best. I have a JoAnn fabrics coupon to use so I might see how much their spools of tulle are. I know nothing about larkshead knots, so I'll have to figure that out. I'm sure there is going to be a painfully obvious answer to this question, but how many knots per piece of tulle? More than one, correct? Actually, can you provide any more guidance on that whole part of the tutu? Pretty please?
In other news, I picked up a gymboree tutu on sale for $5 today so I have that to examine. It's shorter than I want for a tutu/princess dress-up skirt, though, so I'm still going to try to make my own version.
Thanks for all of the help you've given! The pictures help a whole lot.
