1. Tell us about you, the brains behind those beautiful tutus?
I have been married to my wonderful husband David for 20 years. He is the most wonderful man in the world.  We live an a cottage in Alabama with our Ragdoll cat Sierra. I also get to work with my best friend, Jennifer Lee, which is awesome!  I feel blessed!  I am a very girly girl. I love ruffles, rossettes and BLING!  It is so much fun to have a creative outlet.

2. Tell us about the fabulous Atutudes?  When and how did you decide to start making tutus?
Jennifer and I were planning her daughter Elan's first birthday party.  We were looking for just the right outfit for her big day.  Not finding what we were looking for, we decided to do some research and see if we could learn how to make our own tutus.  Once we learned how to make them, we were hooked!  It was so much fun to create beautiful things. We thought, Why not try to make a career of it?

3. What exactly goes into the process of making a tutu?
The most important part to me is coming up with a fabulous concept.  I try to envision how it will fit into a theme for our photoshoot.  I am inspired by certain eras, in film and real life.  Also, certain actresses and female musicians.  I love retro movies.  Once I create the concept I find a model and make a prototype.  I tweak it until I like the final result.  Once I am satisfied we send it off for photos.  When we receive the photos we create our etsy listing and start promotiong our new item with social media.  The creative process is so much fun!

 

4. Which tutu is your personal favorite?
I love the Pink Poodle Tutu.  I am crazy about that era.  Also, the Breakfast at Tiffany's tutu dress.  I adore Audrey Hepburn!  These are our most popular items.

 

 5. I hear you have quite a celebrity following.  What events have you participated in and who's little girls are wearing your tutus?
We have participated in The GBK Productions Emmy, Golden Globes and Oscar celebrity gift lounges with The Artisan Group.  We were also able to send celebrity mom's tutus in a special Mother's Day gifting opportunity.   Recipients included Hilary Duff, Rebecca Gayheart, Keri Russell, Beyonce, Kourtney Kardashian, Lindsay Price, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessica Alba, Uma Thurman, Alyson Hannigan, Molly Sims, Sienna Miller, Kristin Cavallari, Jessica Simpson, Bryce Dallas Howard, Evangeline Lilly, Jennifer Garner, Marley Shelton, Sarah Polley, Mrs. Jason Bateman (Amanda Anka), Mrs. Bruce Willis (Emma Heming), Susan Downey, Jr., Lisa Loeb, Mrs. Kelsey Grammer (Kayte Walsh), and Jessica Capshaw.

 

 6. When you aren't designing, what can we find you doing?
I love to shop, travel and go to the beach.

7. What's next for Atutudes?
We are currently coming up with concepts for Halloween.  We have some really awesome ideas in the works!  We can't wait to share.
