Pancake Tutu and Ballet Leotard:
Main- The leotard has been designed for 4-way stretch swim fabrics with 40-50% stretch to create a snug fit. Lycra gives extra stretch and has excellent recovery. Great choices are cotton lycra, nylon lycra, or jersey polyester lycra. increasing the amount of lycra/elastane will provide a tighter, more compression feel to the fit.
Lining – These are typically similar to dance lycra fabrics. They are often a little lighter in weight and have more stretch - a good example is halenka lining which is soft and stretchy, however, it can be transparent. You can also use a regular dance fabric instead of a dance lining as this offers more support.
Tutu Fabric- You will need a stiff poly netting to create the pancake tutu, with minimum width of 78 inches/200 cm.
* If you are using a narrower fabric, a directional print, or a fabric with nap you may need more.

- Leg opening - approximately 1 yard will be sufficient for all sizes

Ballet Leg Warmers:
Fabric- Your fabric needs to be a stretch/knit fabric with a slight 2-way stretch. Great examples are textured knit, double brushed poly, athletic knit, french terry, cotton lycra, and Liverpool.
It will need to have at least 20% stretch with good recovery to fit as it's designed. To check how much stretch your fabric has, take a piece of fabric, and pull along its stretch, if it allows you to stretch it at least 20% longer than its original length, then it has at least 20% stretch. I.e. A 2-inch piece of unstretched fabric should be able to be stretched to 2.4 inches.
* If you are using a narrower fabric, a directional print, or a fabric with nap you may need more.
You will also need:
- OPTIONAL Clear elastic with a minimum width of 1/4 inches. Approximately 1 yard will be sufficient for all sizes.
