How to Care for Your Custom Tutu

Your custom tutu from TeeTee's Custom Corner was made with love — and with just a little care, it'll stay fluffy, sparkly, and beautiful for every recital, party, and photo shoot to come. Here's everything you need to know to keep it looking its best! 🎀

🚿 Washing Your Tutu

Tutus are delicate, so skipping the washing machine is key. Here's how to clean yours safely:

• Spot clean only — Use a damp cloth with a tiny drop of mild soap to gently dab any dirty spots.
• Never submerge in water — Soaking can cause the layers to lose their shape and the ribbon to bleed.
• Avoid wringing or twisting — This can stretch and distort the tulle layers.
• Air dry flat — If any part does get wet, lay the tutu flat on a clean towel and let it air dry completely before storing.

✨ Keeping It Fluffy

The secret to a perfectly poofy tutu? A little fluffing goes a long way!

• Shake it out after each wear to re-separate the tulle layers.
• Steam gently — Hold a handheld steamer a few inches away to relax any flattened layers. Never iron directly on tulle.
• Hang it up between wears so the layers don't get crushed.

📦 Storing Your Tutu

Proper storage makes a big difference in keeping your tutu in show-ready shape:

• Hang on a skirt hanger in a cool, dry closet — this is the best option for long-term storage.
• Avoid plastic bags — Tulle needs to breathe. Use a breathable garment bag if you need to cover it.
• Keep away from heat — Direct sunlight and heat sources can fade colors and melt glitter accents over time.
• Store flat in a box — If hanging isn't an option, loosely layer the tutu in a wide box with tissue paper between layers.

💎 Caring for Glitter & Embellishments

Many of our tutus feature metallic ribbons, glitter accents, or other sparkly details. To keep them shining:

• Avoid rubbing embellished areas against rough surfaces.
• Keep away from sticky substances (goodbye, birthday cake frosting! 🎂).
• A light spritz of hairspray over glitter areas can help lock in the sparkle.
