The TuTu Skirt?

The beige and black is beautiful Holly

I love them and think they are so feminine (if that’s not a dirty word these days..)
In fact I have the beige and black spotted skirt upthread and a burgundy one I am wearing for music recitals. I wouldn’t go near a short one however!

Joseann, I adore that colour!

Here's a beautiful one!

I agree, the shorty ones are more for fun and partying. Definitely for the young.
The longer ones are quite romantic in a way. Could be a wedding or cruise outfit?

The original classical tutu has a rather unfortunate etymology. It is thought to come from the French, and is a cheeky (!!) word for bum, bottom or arse! Cucu.

Skirt. Not dress!

I love the pic with the sweatshirt over the dress.
It isn't body hugging either.

The gauzy, shorty ones are a different story.

I like the long ones, but I think they only suit the young and slim - not me!

I've always worn almost that kind of skirt.
I think they're lovely, and I like all of those photos, too.

NotSpaghetti: yes, that's it! I imagine you can only make a skirt like that work if you only eat 1 digestive biscuit per week. Sad, because they do look elegant.......

Ohhhh do you think so I think that looks awful joseann not sure if that was a tongue n cheek post or you really think it looks ok

Sarah Jessica Parker smashed it though!

Well, it looks lovely on my 17 year old granddaughter.

Not every fashion suits everybody so, if we have any sense, we pick and choose what suits us best.

It’s getting worse as the photos come on ….no no no I m not a ‘frilly dresser upper’ even when young don’t like candy floss

I've found one to suit your dumpy Bramley apple style mae13. You could ask if it comes in green!

I love the look and the young me would have worn them. I look back wistfully at all my fabulous mini/maxi skirts now.

Found it ..... Chanel Spring/Summer this year.

I'm ballet obsessed, so bring it on. I think it will feel light and floaty in the summer, if we ever get one. It's not a proper tutu though. I had several hand made and the tulle pleating is boxed and layered pretty much from the waist to make it stick out.
I would wear the ones in the photos with pumps.
I think I saw either Dior or Chanel have an upcoming fashion show with some creative pieces like that.

I really like them, disclaimer I have several gauzy maxi skirts I wear on holiday.

DD1 has a skirt like this. I love it and tried it on…..if only I wasn’t 74! If she ever discards it I will take it to wear around the house. 😂

I think that they look lovely. Sadly, I would not look lovely wearing one...

Love them but I’m an overweight 5 feet 2 inch old/elderly lady!

I was just thinking YorkLady ….if only I was 50 years younger!

YorkLady

If only I was young again 😂😂. Don’t like the white, but the other two women look great.
Surely you must all remember a fashion item you had that made your parents disown you!!! 😂

I too like that look, but certainly wouldn't work for this 5ft tall, dumpy old lady!
