abstract:A tutu is a skirt worn as a costume in a ballet performance, often with attached bodice. It consists of a Basque (or waistband, it can either be part of the bodice or a separate band) and the skirt itself might be single layer, hanging down, or multiple layers starched and jutting out.

Last year's standouts were Angry Birds impersonators, mostly male tutu-clad "Black Swan" ballet dancers, and troupes of sombrero-sporting Mexicans (since it was the Mexican team's first year in the tournament).
