Tulle fabric guide
Nowadays we all know this airy fabric. We see it at the wedding, fashion events and day-to-day life. But the history of it begins long before modern ballerina tutus or bridal veil. This lightweight miracle was firstly created in France in the 17th century. And has its name after the French city named Tulle.
Types of tulle fabrics
Tulle fabrics differentiate depending on what fibers they made of — silk, nylon (polyamide), polyester, acetate or rayon. Tulle can be dense or soft, voluminous or flowing. Here are the main types:
- Silk tulle — brides favorite, delicate and incredibly soft. It is expensive but worth the price.
- Illusion tulle — more lightweight than the silk one, as it has a very fine texture. Perfect for the veils. Usually made of a mix of nylon and polyester.
- Nylon (also known as polyamide) tulle — affordable and beautiful. Great for the prom dresses, dancewear, underskirts, overlays, and decor.
- Polyester tulle — slightly stiffer than the other ones, good for decoration and crafting purposes.
- Netting fabric — it has a lot bigger size of the mesh (holes). It is majorly made from nylon.

How to care for the tulle fabric?
Taking care of such delicate fabric requires extremely gentle treatment and proper storage. Tulle fabrics are strictly hand wash or dry clean. A washing machine will damage its fine fibers and it will look different. Do not put tulle fabric in the dryer, instead lay it flat on a drying rack to dry. To remove wrinkles use the steamer on the low heat settings.
