I clicked on the link and got an offer to sign up. Is it the pink and yellow skirt you're thinking of?

It's this one, Alisande..

It's called the Holly Jolly Christmas Tutu. Isn't it adorable?! I think it will be too big for the baby I was hoping it would fit. And next year it will be too small. :(

That IS adorable! We got our granddaughter (18 months) a Green Bay Packer tutu. Do you have any crafty skills? They are VERY easy to make. Just tie strips of tulle on a piece of elastic. You can make them any size you want! :) They are cute, but not very comfortable! My granddaughter couldn't sit long in it.

That looks like it would be easy to make yourself, cut strips of red and white netting or tulle and knot it onto a piece of ribbon and tie around the baby's waist, over a white onsie. I bet you could make that for under $5.

Ha, I had the thread open while I did something else, so Juellie beat me to it, only her elastic idea is way better than my ribbon. :)

Hi Flamingo...I only said elastic cause the one we bought our granddaughter is made out of elastic....makes it fit a little longer! I'm thinking someday she can use it for dressup.....or use it when the Packers go back to the superbowl! :-)

Now, why didn't I think of that???

Of course! I'll bet I could do this. And if I make the tutu kind of short all around, when she sat she'd be sitting on her hind end and not all that netting.

I'm betting that is also netting that is bunched up and attached to the t-shirt. Maybe I could also add that.

If I do decide to try it...I will post pics. Thanks for the idea!

Cute for a 6 year old who asks for one maybe. For an infant or toddler not so much. What is this trend of dressing up little girls in for show instead of comfort? Women are supposedly "liberated" but don't seem to extend that right to little ones. They are babies, not Barbie dolls. Babies need soft clothes that allow them to move and explore. Not "fashion". JMO

Oh, that is cute! I agree with Wildchild about the age, though. Without realizing it, I dressed my first child, a girl, in boys' clothes when she was a baby. Those plain cotton knits seemed so much more comfortable than ruffles and lace.

Have you noticed the trend of dressing small girls (maybe age 5 and up) in black for the holidays? It's not a new trend, exactly; I've been seeing this for several years. I'm still not used to it! It doesn't appeal to me at all.

I think she'll look sweet in it. And as for dressing her up for Holidays, I see no harm in it. If it looks like it will be too uncomfortable, it is easily removed.

I am getting excited about try my hand at this. I've already went online and bought a white onsie. :-)

I don't see any harm at all in putting a baby in a cute outfit for a photo-op/special occasion. I seriously doubt that the baby will be wearing it all day, every day.

I think it would look cute on a one year old running around during a family gathering. Unless it's hot were you live, I would put some tights or slim pants under it. She's one year old and running around, this will be comfy!
Of course mom has to agree!!

Boy, when I get started on something..there's no stopping me. lol I had to pick my son up at work and there is a JoAnnes right down the street from where he works. I stopped and got the material to make the tutu.

It wasn't as cheap as I thought either. I got the material and two rolls of ribbon. The total was a little over $15. The onesie I ordered online was also a little over $15 (that was plus shipping)
Now, I still have to buy tights to go with it and probably a little pair of shoes.

dianamo,

How fun...definitely post a pic of the finished outfit!

Just curious, why did you buy a onsie on line?? You could've bought one at Walmart or Target for a LOT cheaper and had it the same day! :) Just curious...........

I made one last year for my 2-1/2 y.o. GD - who wore it to pieces - she loves dress-up. It was very simple. I used ribbon - that way they could make it looser as she got bigger.

I've been making lifelike dolls and dressing them for years. It's been my experience that long sleeve, white ,heavy fabric onsies are hard to find.

The regular onsies that come three in a pack are too light weight. I wanted a heavier one and those are harder to find. Normally they come in colors or have designs on them. I guess I could have bought one with a Christmas design, but I wanted it as close to the one in the picture.

And besides...I never was one to think things through before I start a project. lol

It's a onesie and an elastic skirt. What is uncomfortable about that? A thick pair of tights and it sounds about as comfortable as anything else I can imagine. Well, for a baby - I would not be comfortable in that outfit. No one would be comfortable seeing me in that outfit either!

i love dressing up babies for the holidays...don't care if they can only wear it once..but bet you make a darling outfit..hope you post your creation! those ttu's are everywhere! look for the softer tulle...

our next grand is being delivered on dec 23...mom is into lady bugs..i lucked out and saw and bought am bring home from the hospital outfit i found at target...red with tiny black dots...

Those tutus are very easy to make....lots of tutorials on the web.

You buy the toile ribbon (already the correct width), cut it to length (wrapping it around a sturdy piece of cardboard the correct length makes that part really easy). Loop it over elastic that fits the waist. Done!

I agree, a little one needs to wear tights under it, tutus are itchy.

What about some toe shoes? LOL Oh, right, she's probably not 'en pointe' yet. Ballet slippers?
