straps for little girls tutu suggestions
Linda   Intermediate TX USA Member since 7/19/07 Posts: 151	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/14/12 4:42 PM I've made a tutu dress for a 4 yr. old little girl. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to attach straps, or just to use ribbon and tie around neck. The body of tutu is the crochet head band. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what to use for straps and how to attach? I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Really want to keep it simple... Thanks! Linda in TX ------ Linda Ann

It looks like most of the pics I saw had a ribbon halter or double shoulder straps with ribbon. For my dd, I like adjustable straps but find that sometimes ribbons don't stay tied for active little girls... :). I have only made one pillowcase dress because of this. I'm sure that someone else has some creative ideas... -- Edited on 11/14/12 11:25 PM --

You can do it so the bow is in front or back. ------ Bernina 330 BabyLock Ellure Plus BLR3 BabyLock Imagine Singer 221 Singer 237 converted to treadle Singer 27 treadle

Around-the-neck is not as comfortable as at the shoulders. You can crisscross the back at 2 points or use a center loop for a one-piece strap to go thru. I have used those extra colored bra straps (sold separately in the jr. sections) for replacements. Add small squares to the band first for strength where the straps attach.
