This Candy Cane Tutu is perfect for the holidays. Handmade by Too Tutu Cute, the tutu is double-layered with an elastic waistband to guarantee a perfect fit. Available in sizes from 0-3 months to 5/6, sizes are also based on waist size (check TooTutuCute.com for details). At $25, this is an affordable holiday outfit for a little girl.

I never thought of myself as the kind of parent who dresses her daughters up in tutus.  It was just not something that held that much appeal to me.  At my toddler’s Halloween party at daycare, however, she begged me to let her wear another child’s tutu instead of her own costume.  It was one of the first times that she has ever expressed a strong preference for a piece of clothing, so now I am thinking that a tutu might make an excellent holiday gift.  I’m surprised to say that I have actually had a lot of fun looking at all of the different tutus that are out there.  They are far nicer and far more appealing than I ever imagined.

This red toddler tutu from Kiwi industries is one of my favorites.  I like the fact that it appears much more substantial than many others that I have seen. The tutu is made from layers of tulle which hold silk flowers for an added touch.  It features a satin belt at the waist that is decorated with a rose.

You can purchase one of these tutus for $32 at kitsel.com.  It is designed to fit children who normally wear sizes 2-5.  It would make a wonderful holiday gift, and would also be quite cute in holiday photos.
