Tulle is probably best, why do you want to make a substitution? Organza is probably next best, as it is usually quite stiff, but would be bulkier when gathered in several layers. Net is a coarser version of "tulle".
Chiffon would be way too limp, it would not stand out like a tutu should. You might, if you are really into projects, make a "wired" pancake tutu:

Net and dress net are stiffer and rougher than tulle. If you want it comfy, edge the tulle with ribbon... Sew on one side, wrap/fold round and sew on from the other.
It's a right royal pain to do but gives a lovely result.
Organza frays like the devil but can be pretty. Poly organza retains its stiffness.
Chiffon is VERY floppy. No good if you want it to stick out.
Just for playing, or for ballet classe?

Thanks Beverly,
I wanted something tulle like that had embellishments as I found no tulle with any kind of ebellishments just some sparkles.

Thanks Kate,
Just for play now but i hope to be ready for any ballet class needs when the need should arise.
As much as she loves immitating/pretending ballet she is not warming up to the idea of ballet class ? yet ?
thanks again. robb
