Elastic Measurements: Use 1/2 - 1 wide. Measure your child, but if there is no child to measure, use these measurements.\r
\r
Elastic Measurement for Newborn Tutu - 16. Add an inch for each size up. (The newborn size could fit 6 months to a year).\r
\r
Tulle Cutting Measurements: Take the length you want (ex. 9″) and double (ex. 18″). Then add two inches (ex. 20″). So for example, if you want a tutu at 9″ in length, then you need to cut each strip to be 20″ long.\r
