tutu
This term evokes the specific aesthetic of classical ballet, carrying connotations of fragility, discipline, and theatrical artifice. It is almost exclusively associated with the professional stage or formal dance training, though it occasionally appears in casual contexts to describe costumes for children's dress-up.
Because it refers to a specific garment, it follows standard English countability rules. It is a discrete physical object that can be counted individually, unlike mass nouns for fabrics such as tulle or lace.
