Best places to buy a ballet tutu?

My daughter has started taking part in dance festivals, specifically for junior classical ballet level.

Up until now she has been borrowing a tutu from her ballet school. It is now too small though, so it is time to buy her own.

I have been looking at the IDS site (to order through a local dance wear shop) but at a festival today I saw numerous identical tutus all from the IDS brochure.

Online I can't find many other suppliers. I am thinking that there might be a forum where people sell second hand tutus, as the girls grow out of them so quickly? Or what other recommended websites or shops are worth checking out for slightly different styles?

Any ideas welcome - thanks.

Ooh following! I was looking at Tutus on eBay today but there's not much choice. They're either £10 or £200 with little in between.

I ordered mine from a lady who makes them. Sent her the measurements she asked for and she sent me fabric samples etc and made the tutus for both my girls, they fit brilliantly and I am really pleased with them. will PM you her details so you can look her up if you want.

Just Ballet in Wisbech - they can make to measure or you can hire from their collection.
