The foundation is THE most important aspect of a great tutu! Start off on the right foot with a best-selling panty pattern designed by Travis Halsey, which has been developed for over a decade with input from dancers all over the world! This panty has a sleek full-coverage fit without any bulkiness. It can be easily altered to raise and lower the leg line at the front of the body as well. The panty is made from two layers of stretch mesh and is versatile as it can be used as a trunk in romantic and classical skirts. This pattern includes instructions with unique notes and pointers to make construction a breeze! Please refer to the sizing chart below before ordering your pattern, and don't forget to add the instructional PDFs to your cart before checkout as well!

You can print from home using the program, Adobe Reader. If you do not have this program, it is a free download available for both PC and Mac computers. Open the pattern file using Adobe Reader, go to "Print," and select "Poster Print." The program will automatically slice your file into as many 8.5x11" sheets of paper as needed to fully print your pattern to scale. Be certain you keep the scale of printing at 100%. Changing the scale will yield an incorrect size. Once printed, arrange the pages and tape them together. If you prefer, you make print your file on a large scale printer at an office supply store instead.
