@ELML11 It's an old dance costume. You can get them online tho, however we did add a little hoop to make it stiff. Hopefully a tutorial on how to make a floppy tutu stiff will be up in a couple months!
Hey there! We used glue gun to glue the feathers and the rhinestones! We just used the tacky spray at the end to sprinkle glitter on them (not required though).
@ksunga86 You can use any short black spandex running shorts. Or they even have boyshort underwear at places, and you can just get it in black. Hope that helps!
@ambiL11169 Hey! There are actually quite a few corset videos on youtube (which involve lots of sewing), and the tutus are really easy to find online or at costume stores. But since most tutus are not stiff we are going to upload a video on how to make it stiff! We didn't show how to make everything because most people don't want to sew.
Ladies, I can't thank you enough for these videos. I decided to be Black Swan this year the moment I saw a black swan costume at a party last year. I love that movie, and thought to myself "Why didn't I think of that?!" So I decided that day that would be my costume this year. I am nearly finished! Today I attached wire to my tutu since it was indeed suffering from Floppy Tutu Syndrome. Anyway, I wouldn't have done this without your easy to follow instructions and guidance Thanks so much!
I'm so excited to be the black swan this Halloween because around 14 random people have told me I look like Natalie Portman, and I'm a ballet dancer too. I'm going to go full out, makeup, red eye contacts, pointe shoes. im so excited thank you for this video once again!
idk if y'all know but there is loop trick to make a simple tutu with no sewing. cut stips of tulle into 3" X 20" and fold that in half around the wire loop or elastic band. then lay the tulle behind the wire loop. but make sure the fold in the tulle is about 1" above and then pull the opened end of the tulle through the looped end so that the tulle is making a knot around the wire, and just repeat. BTW I love your videos!
I'm guessing that the pointe shoes were ties that way as decoration. She didn't go up on her toes. Loved the tutorial! Might start working on this years costume now!
You guys did a great job with the feather/tule detail on top of the tutu... it made the costume imo. Might try to recreate this along with the tiara :) thanks
I saw this costume with wings tied to the dancer's arms. Or at least I think I did. Never saw the movie Black Swan, but I did see the previews. Didn't want to see the movie either but loved the costume. Never seen a visual reference to that one little blip so maybe I could draw it. Your costume looks lovely by the way.
Omg! I loved this, you girls are good at this! Could you please PLEASE do one for Harley Quinn (Batman)? I'd love to see how to do a half black, half red tulle tutu, please! And the top as well!!! Thank you! :)
I actually just made this costume. It was so simple and inexpensive. It was fun too. I used a black tank top instead of a bustier and it turned out great. Thanks girls for posting this video and inspiring me to be creative. :)
thanks for posting this, I am currently working at it for my halloween costume this year :) i am on a small island so sadly i can't find a proper tutu so i'm trying that no-sew-technique - still working at; but the corset turned out lovely and i made it as close to the tutorial as i could:)
Really cool tutorial! Though I must say that the black swan isn't a totally plain bad, ugly character. There are many levels to her and I think it does the character more justice to see white and black swan as opposite sides of the same person.
did one of you guys wear the white swan and the other black swan? luv your vid im looking for a costume i want to have this year would choose this but i havent seen the movie :)
Tie the ribbons on the pointe shoes on the inside of your ankle, and tuck the knot under another ribbon. Other than that, nicely done. Did you do the makeup for it?
This is wonderful! This is what i am going to be for Halloween. where i am it is freezing on halloween so how can i make this costume warmer but still cute? Thanks!
Beautiful! *Tip you can dye the pointe shoes black with clothing dye (Some use magic marker, it is AWFUL!) If the ribbons are correct, tied in the inside, it needs to be in a square knot and fold the ribbons in and tuck them behind the knot (going over to utilize gravity). This is best placed right behind the ankle bone in the squishy part of the Achilles heel. If it is for a costume, an extra embellishment of sorts can be the ribbons. Tie them on the outside, above the ankle bone in a bow!
I'm being this for halloween. OMG! looks freakin' nice. where did you buy that tutu specifically? I was going to make mines... but Idk if it's gonna look nice and stiff like that
Hey! whats the name of the store you bought your tutu at? How much was it? Do you know any stores in Montreal? And where did you get the bustier? thankss :)
wat would look cuter on me black or white? blonde hair blue eyes pale skin kinda chubby almost 5 ft im 11 about a 36a also could u do makeup tutorials? thanks
Me and my friend made these costumes :) put so much work into our costumes, and then sandy hit and Halloween was cancelled and I didn't get to wear it :( maybe next year haha
Im going to be this for Halloween gosh its so pretty , i wish i could watch the movie but im not aloud to haaha my mom says its too creppy and its going to freak me out haha , but i LOVE the costume its so girly and pretty & original thanks xx :)
guys they are in ballet and trained just look their pointe shoes have the holes at the top done so you wont slip on pointe and toes tutus you can only get from a ballet studio but i agree walking out in pointe shoes will ruin them

@freeravenm You can find one at a dance supply store, most Halloween costume shops, or Malabar's if you're in the Toronto area :)
@ksunga86 You can use any short black spandex running shorts. Or they even have boyshort underwear at places, and you can just get it in black. Hope that helps!
@panama880 It might be a little floppy. Check out our white swan costume! You can try the way becky creates her tutu/bottom...
@KillgerCore We would love to see yours! You should be able to find them at any craft supply store. We got them at Michael's.
@Jamba4101 there is a DIY black swan crown video linked at then end of the video...

@HoneyBear8688 That's totally another option. We'd love to see it when it's done!

Amazon search: black corset, they have a wide variety of prices
I'm so excited to be the black swan this Halloween because around 14 random people have told me I look like Natalie Portman, and I'm a ballet dancer too. I'm going to go full out, makeup, red eye contacts, pointe shoes. im so excited thank you for this video once again!
@cupidpita we talk you through the tutorial!

Omg I know you probably aren't going en pointe for real, but for the sake of dancers everywhere please tie (and tuck) your ribbons correctly.
She is a dancer for real shes said it
Cbethdancer In case ya didnt hear shes also a dancer! :D
+futuramabender20 cool profile pic went to shinedown in july

@956y see 6:19 for shoes. of course you can wear heels. that totally makes it sexier!
I'm guessing that the pointe shoes were ties that way as decoration. She didn't go up on her toes. Loved the tutorial! Might start working on this years costume now!
@iloveclothes23 we plan to! totally open to suggestions aswell :)
I'm sure your doing okay! There is no right or wrong way to do this costume, everyone's will look a little different! Goodluck.
This is helpful thank you for the video! I'm just wondering, where exactly can I find a nice tutu like that? That doesn't cost too much
About 2 small bags of craft feathers.
@kimberly41296 thank you!! we used a hot glue gun for pretty much everything but you could definitely sew it if you wanted too
@bleachlover165460 yes for sure!
You guys did a great job with the feather/tule detail on top of the tutu... it made the costume imo. Might try to recreate this along with the tiara :) thanks

I've been looking for a tutorial of a black swan costume forever and I found this awesome video I am so doing this for halloween!! I love it

It was our costume for halloween! We kinda go all out.
Omg! I loved this, you girls are good at this! Could you please PLEASE do one for Harley Quinn (Batman)? I'd love to see how to do a half black, half red tulle tutu, please! And the top as well!!!
Thank you! :)

Thankyou girls for this tutorial, I made my own costume following your instructions and it looks amazing!
I did this last year and everyone at dance couldn't believe I made the costume and did the makeup for it!
Questions about the black tutu are answered in the description :)
And if you use a black tank top, should you cut off the straps? Thanks again!
OMG my friend and I might be the black and white swans and the videos are PERFECT!!!
you guys are my FAVORITE RUclipsRS
I love the costume!!! Where did u get the corset from???
thanks for posting this, I am currently working at it for my halloween costume this year :) i am on a small island so sadly i can't find a proper tutu so i'm trying that no-sew-technique - still working at; but the corset turned out lovely and i made it as close to the tutorial as i could:)

did one of you guys wear the white swan and the other black swan?
luv your vid im looking for a costume i want to have this year would choose this but i havent seen the movie :)
fascinated me the dress and the white swan as well but my question is how elavoraron or got the tu tu??
Tie the ribbons on the pointe shoes on the inside of your ankle, and tuck the knot under another ribbon. Other than that, nicely done. Did you do the makeup for it?
This is wonderful! This is what i am going to be for Halloween. where i am it is freezing on halloween so how can i make this costume warmer but still cute? Thanks!
This looks great! Where did you buy the tutu?
instead of doing the feather belt on the wire, could you glue the feathers and the tulle to the inside like you did with the white swan???
@ELML11 Video up girl! Check it out on our channel :)
Would black tights and black ballet slippers be on? Or would you recommend a nude/light pink instead?
do you think if i just made a couple of belts and layered them it would pass as a tutu?
Beautiful! *Tip you can dye the pointe shoes black with clothing dye (Some use magic marker, it is AWFUL!) If the ribbons are correct, tied in the inside, it needs to be in a square knot and fold the ribbons in and tuck them behind the knot (going over to utilize gravity).

how long did the entire outfit take you to make ? and could you explain what you did with the tulle on the tutu belt xx
I'm being this for halloween. OMG! looks freakin' nice. where did you buy that tutu specifically? I was going to make mines... but Idk if it's gonna look nice and stiff like that

to make the tutu connect to the corset I think that you should basicly do what you did but just add to it layer by layer I think that should work
