We create outfit inspirations for our customers but we do not sell everything you see in the photo.  If we do sell the accessory it will say that in the listing.   Please read listing carefully.  Some newborn listings do allow you to purchase the headbands.  

What is the difference between @bellethreads tutus and other tutus?

Belle Threads tutus are unique designs and heirloom pieces handmade in the USA.  Our tutus are not constructed by tying knots on a band but are hand gathered and entirely sewn with soft tulle. This method provides longevity for your garment and allows rooms to grow. Our tulle skirts are very full and fully lined too. 

What is the difference between Belle Threads dresses and other dresses?

All of our dresses are ORIGINAL DESIGNS AND SELL OUT.  They are made with high quality fine fabrics with unique prints and unique material.  They are completely lined and handmade in the USA.  These are exclusive Belle Threads designs made with fabrics purchased in the US.  

Should we purchase dresses all together for dance teams/wedding parties?

Yes we suggest that all dresses/costumes are purchased together.  This is because fabric sells out and fabric colors might slightly change depending on dye lot.
