Depends on what kind you want to make... But basically you need Tulle fabric (alot or a little depending on how fluffy you want it), a strip of elastic about 3 inches shorter than your waist and that's it! you then cut the strips twice the length you want the tutu to be and tie it around the waistband. That simple.

Various online web stores sell pre-made tutus and material.

It depends if you are looking for a rehearsal tutu or a performance tutu. Usually, performance tutus are custom made, so you would have to find a tutu maker or maybe someone who is a very experienced sewer. If you are looking for a rehearsal tutu or already made performance tutu, you can go to a local dancewear store, but not all dance stores carry them. You can go online to websites like: http://www.dancewearsolutions.com/ballet/tutus/Default.aspx http://www.discountdance.com/dancewear/tutus-and-skirts/tutus/page1 http://www.tutu.com and other dancewear stores.
