Tulle is a type of material used to make a variety of outfits, including a wedding dress, a veil, and a ballet tutu skirt. It is a mesh-like material that varies in stiffness due to different types of fabrics and fibers. One of the great qualities of this fabric is its affordability, but costs vary for different types of materials on the market.
What are the preferred materials?
Tulle is available in a variety of materials including nylon, rayon, and silk. Nylon and Rayon are a cost effective option and much stiffer than a delicate and smooth material like silk. Due to its low cost, it is a much more practical option to decorate a hall or a room with elements such as a tulle table skirt. Silk is the most expensive option and is generally reserved for clothing.
One type of material that has a specific function is the blend of nylon and polyester. This provides a soft material that is excellent at holding its shape and a popular choice for making a wedding veil.
At the lower end of the market is handcrafted tulle. This material is great for crafters who want to make a variety of outfits or accessories, such as party decorations, children’s tutus, gift-wrapping bows, or crowns. It is a stiff material and can leave an outfit quite scratchy when worn. Due to its low cost, it cannot provide the durability and quality of clothing fabric.
Craft tulle is easily purchased as spools in ribbon form and on pins and comes in a variety of sizes. Tailor-made tulle is most commonly available in bolts and comes in the largest sizes, 54 inches and 108 inches wide, making it practical for making wedding dresses.
Another characteristic of this type of material is the possibility of choosing different finishes. In addition to the plain material, it is also possible to use fabrics for crafts and clothing with shiny or shiny finishes. Other specialty finishes include additional lace fabric or a dotted or similar pattern finish.
Colors available for any task
The tulle material is available in a wide range of colors to make it a practical choice for all types of garments and decorative applications. Materials in light colors like white, off-white, or cream are ideal for weddings, while bright colors are the preferred choice for a tutu skirt, bow-making, or party decorations.
