Once upon time, there lived a little girl who has a thing for ruffles. No matter how many years passed by, it might still exist inside every girl as a flash in back of mind. Little Doll TuTu Top is created to embrace those precious moments again. TuTu top is good for summer beach time or a casual night out. It could also be made into a one piece dress with longer ruffle.

TuTu top is worked from middle up then down in stockinette stitch with two strands of cotton yarn for bikini section and one strand of dot-dyed cotton yarn for ruffle section.
