Baby Doll Tutu

I created my first tutu meant for a baby doll. It didn't go so well. The waist was supposed to measure 11" at most. A general rule when cutting your elastic for the tutu--measure and minus 2. So, since the doll was 11", I cut to 9". All is well right?

Yeah that's what I thought. After I finished it, my results were a 12" wide tutu that is only 4.5" long. Preemie girl maybe? I guess we'll see. Overall, I think it turned out great. Just not the size I intended. Of course, I can easily go in and make it smaller. But I seriously don't want to do this.

I used coral, blue and peach tulle with a red wine colored ribbon on the waist.
