This is the face of a toddler who has just discovered The Best Dress Ever.
When I was asked if I’d be interested in reviewing a tutu from the brand new Mrs W Tutus I knew there was only one answer. With an almost-three year old nurturing an obsession with dressing up, I knew she’d be keen.
Turns out, I couldn’t have been more right.
(Note the bright yellow wellies and pink sunglasses as accessories.)
My wannabe ballerina twirled and whirled and fell over – then twirled and whirled some more, before cracking on with the important job of gardening.
Handmade in Kate’s home, the tutu is finished to a really high quality – complete with detachable top for days when only the full tutu skirt is needed.
I was really impressed with the attention to detail – cute little buttons and hand sewn ribbons – something you don’t always find in the mass produced tutus around.
It’s a definite hit in our house. So much so, that it’s caused daily arguments conversations over when is and when isn’t an acceptable time to wear a tutu (the daily, “I wear tutu to bed Mummy” has yet to end).
If you’re interested in bagging one of these beauties for yourself, you can find Mrs W Tutus (a.k.a. Kate) on Twitter and Facebook. That’s also where you can also check out some of her other amazing creations – including bridesmaid dresses and disco tutus.
Now, any advice as to how I persuade my child that she can’t replace every single pair of pyjamas she owns with a tutu?!

Disclosure: The tutu featured in this post was provided for the purpose of this review. All opinions remain my own. It really is the best dress ever. Fact.
I’m still trying to convince my 23-month-old that wellies aren’t appropriate bedtime gear!
Glad it’s not just mine!
What a dress-I actually want it in my size!
Me too!
I’m up for giving it go Ladies – after all, you can NEVER have too much Fluffy Tulle in your life…….
Now THAT is gorgeous – does Kate make them mummy sized??
I’m sure she’d give it a good go – tweet her! x
This post is well timed reading (seeing?) for me in light of my sudden yearning to have a tutu. I never did when I was little, to my knowledge, so it’s funny to have the hankering now. A little bit of the yearning has been satisfied vicariously thanks to you. :p
