The Tutu
Although it seems impossible for the tutu to ever go anywhere outside the dance studio, back in the day many of our leading ladies sucked it in and put one on. Some wore them better than others, but they all made it a fabulous fashion statement.

Mary working a layered look.
Debbie in full attire.

Leslie showing some dance moves.
Liz wears hers with heels.
Shirley, the trend setter.
