Ballet Tutu
A tutu is a dress worn as a costume in a classical ballet performance, often with attached bodice. It may be made of tarlatan, muslin, silk, tulle, gauze, or nylon. Modern tutus have two basic types: the Romantic tutu is soft and bell-shaped, reaching the calf or ankle; the Classical tutu is short and stiff, projecting horizontally from the waist and hip. Etymology The word tutu can refer to only the skirt part of the costume. The bodice and tutu make up what is usually the entire costume, but which is called the tutu (by synecdoche, wherein the part – the skirt – can embody the whole). The derivation of the word '' tutu'' is unknown. The word was not recorded anywhere until 1881. One theory is that it is simply derived from the word ''tulle'' (one of the materials from which it is made). A second theory is that the word comes from the slang of French children that refers to the buttocks (''cul''). During that era, the ''abonnés'' (rich male subscribers at the Paris Opera ...
