The modern tutu is a dress worn as a costume in a ballet performance, often with attached bodice.
[1]
It may be made of tarlatan, muslin, silk, tulle, gauze, or nylon. Modern tutus have two basic types:
the Romantic tutu is soft and bell-shaped, reaching the calf or ankle; the Classical tutu is short and
stiff, projecting horizontally from the waist and hip.[2]
The derivation of the word tutu is unknown. The word was not recorded anywhere until 1881. One
theory is that it is simply derived from the word tulle (one of the materials from which it is made).
Another theory is that it derives from French babytalk for bottom (cucul): during that era,
the abonns (rich male subscribers at the Paris Opera Ballet) were encouraged to mix with the ballet
girls in the foyer, and arrange assignations.[3] It is suggested the expression came from the abonns
playfully patting the back of the tulle dress with the saying pan-pan cucul (French for I'll spank your
bottom).
A third, related theory suggests a derivation from the more vulgar French word, "cul" (which can be
used to refer to the bottom or genital area). During this era, women (including dancers)
wore pantalettes as underwear, which were open at the crotch. The abonns favoured the very front
rows in the hope of a scandalous view, and the skirt was modified for that reason. This is supported
by the description by nineteenth-century balletomane, Charles Nuitter, who defined tutu as "a slang
term for the very short petticoat worn by danseuses in the interest of modesty."
The skirt that became known as the Romantic tutu made its first appearance in 1832 at the Paris
Opera, when Marie Taglioni wore a gauzy white skirt cut to reveal her ankles, designed by Eugene
Lami in La Sylphide.[5] From the late 19th century onwards, the tutu was steadily shortened, for ease
of movement and to show off the dancer's legs,[6] culminating in the very short Classical tutu which
leaves the whole leg free.
The Romantic tutu is still based on Marie Taglioni's original costume, though modern materials mean
it is lighter and may be more transparent. The hem falls between the knee and ankle.
