YOU MUST PURCHASE THE PATTERN SEPARATELY FROM TUTUS THAT DANCE FOR $20.00.

Fabric for Trunks/Briefs: Fabric: a light weight 4 way stretch. That means it stretches both horizontally and vertically. All 4 ways! Think yoga pants or swim suit material or your leotard. It stretches up and down and it also stretches around. It’s generally referred to as Spandex or Lyrcra. It has a shiny side and a non shiny side generally. If this is going to be used a lot by the dancer in rehearsals, I really recommend you get a good quality Lycra.
A Half a yard of fabric that is 50” wide should be sufficient to make the brief.
Netting: this is netting NOT tulle. You want a total of 10 yards. That will give you a cushion for the inevitable mishaps that happen making this project for the first time. I have done tutus that are all one color and ones that are 2 alternating colors. And I have done some custom dyeing as well. I’m open to assisting you to dye your netting. Just make sure you get a bottle of dye, the kind that is recommended for synthetic fabrics.
Elastic: you want about 50” of 3/8” wide braided or non-roll elastic for the legs.
Thread: don’t forget thread to match your brief fabric. You will be serging your panty/brief and I have black and white thread I will be providing. If you want a different color, you will need to get 4 spools of that thread or cones to match your fabric. We will be ruffling the netting on the Johnson Ruffler and using serger cone thread wherever possible. Again, I have black and white and some colors. You should probably get a cone of serger thread for that purpose but it’s also possible I will have some you can use from our supplies to use on the Ruffler. Honestly, I recommend you get 4 cones of thread that works with your netting and panty fabric.
