TULLE-ING AROUND

I ask you, what could say bridal more than a cloud of soft tulle? Tulle is a fine mesh netting with a hexagonal pattern that comes in silk, cotton, nylon or acrylic/silk for power netting. Tulle, aka illusion, is familiar because its the standard material for bridal veils. But did you know it comes in lighter versions and is used in bouffant skirts.? The one pictured below certainly gives off that ballerina look Vera Wang popularized a few years back.

Moving beyond classic bridal fashion and into an edgier vintage look, this bodice is shirred with tulle over Chantilly lace. Three layers of draped ruffling gently fall down the arm. The waist is draped with a tulle sash
While the big tulle skirt is classic, this A-line is shirred tulle from decolletage to hem. And don' forget stoles and wraps can be made out of tulle. The one above is dappled with soft pink organza rosebuds. Below left is a pagoda hat swathed in it and the pancake hat at the right has a pouf of tulle.
