Tutus – a new Category!

We have introduced tutus to our categories. These are practice tutus, for now, but we can also order other tutus.

They are also useful for more advanced examinations, auditions and similar events. Most of them are on order as we have little space for stock, but we promise to deliver as soon as we can. We can Read More...
