TL;DR: The amount of tulle needed for a tutu depends on your desired length, fullness, number of layers, width of the tulle, and the wearer’s waist size. If you use wider tulle, you’ll need less yardage; for a no-sew tutu, double the strip length (waist to hem and back) and tie until it’s full. Adjust counts based on your construction method and how “poofy” you want the skirt.

Tulle is not only a highly versatile fabric used for everything from wedding dresses and tutus to mosquito netting, it’s also a town in France. In fact the city of Tulle is quite likely the origin of tulle itself.
TLDR: The amount of tulle needed to make a tutu depends on the size (child vs adult), style (single or multi-layered), and desired fullness. For a basic adult tutu with 2 layers, you’ll need approximately 6-8 yards of 54″ wide tulle.
