I started making tutu's in the Fall of 2015, I made my daughter a Halloween costume and my husband and family thought I did such a great job I should do it part time on the side. I started at first only taking local orders. In March of 2016 I decided to open an Etsy shop, In November of 2016 I decided to go solo from Etsy and create my own website. My life has been crazy busy ever since! My part time job on the side has turned into a FULL time job. I am now working 70 + hours 7 days a week. Plus I have a family with a husband and 3 children, my oldest son is 16, middle 15, and a 5 year old princess. I absolutely LOVE what I do and wouldn't have it any other way. I love seeing pictures my customers send me of the girl's in my creations, it makes it so worth it to know I made their occasion special. Each outfit I make is unique, I try to put a special touch on each one so they are not all exactly alike. I do every outfit by myself, start to finish. I love challenges and making new outfits, so feel free to message me about a custom order! I am a perfectionist and try to make it as perfect as possible before it leaves my workshop. I also try to make my outfits affordable for everyone, therefore I receive a lot of orders. I am usually booked 2 weeks in advance every month and average 4 orders per day. During peak busy seasons Feb 15th-Easter and Sept 1st- Dec. 26th it could take up to 4 weeks to process your order. Please know that all orders are done in the order they are needed. Thank you so much for choosing Twinkle Tu's !!
