Hi everyone! I wanted to thank you for all of your support – what a fun holiday season! Now that we are well situated in 2010 (is it really February already?) here is the latest news:
I welcome any inquiries for special events, parties, bulk orders, etc… That said, I am shutting down individual tutu ordering via the website until I have time to develop a better system. Hopefully by holiday time 2010 I will have it back up and running at capacity!

Thank you for supporting Chi Chi Tutu through the holidays! This was a very fun little project that took on a life of its own. Please keep us in mind for Valentine tutus, special photography needs, birthdays and birthday party orders in 2010!
Here are some recent client examples – just for fun!

Heather M!
The number ONE (1) was picked by Random.org. I have never seen anyone with the first entry win anything, so how exciting is that for Heather? Congratulations!!
Thank you all SO much for entering my first ever giveaway. I think 80+ entries is a success!
Keep Chi Chi Tutu in mind for your daughters, granddaughters, nieces and birthday gifts! There is a tutu for every occasion (photo op w/ your little Valentine?) Tutus make great birthday gifts and great birthday party favors (I do bulk orders!).
I am not taking any new Christmas Delivery orders after December 16th but I may be able to do rush orders for those in Rhode Island and South Coast Mass. Please contact me if you have questions!

I had a few days “off” while sick (can’t cough on perfectly poufy tutus … that would be wrong). But I am back and working like mad to get your tutus to you before St. Nick arrives.
I am extending the Christmas Delivery cut-off date to December 15th. That said, please get in touch with me if you plan on ordering between now and the 15th. I want to make sure I have the tulle you want in stock OR have time to order it for you.
As of today, I have 5 tutus in the queue and room for another 3-4 before I close the window!

Update! Camera is working!
I have made some amazing custom client tutus and some amazing (white with velvet poinsettias!) tutus for the upcoming craft show I will be participating in. Unfortunately, the camera is acting up. I hope to have these technical issues fixed tonight and share some of these fantastic tutus with you!

SwitzerPink and SwitzerPurple are finished! These designs are destined for Switzerland to adorn two little SwitzerSisters. The pink one is a bustle design and the purple one is a tied end design with a new woven waistband that I though I would try out. The purple tulle is SO soft – it reminds me of chiffon and lays down a bit heavier than the normal tulle.
