Tulle dresses: FAQs

What is tulle?

Tulle is a fine, lightweight net fabric made from silk, nylon and polyester, used in layers to give skirts volume and in single layers for sheer sleeves and overlays.

Is a tulle dress see-through?

Most tulle dresses are lined at the body; tulle is sheer in a single layer, so sleeves, yokes and overlays show skin.

Can you wear a tulle dress to a wedding?

Yes. A tulle midi in a colour suits a daytime and garden wedding, and a tulle gown suits black tie; avoid white and ivory. See wedding guest dresses.

How do you stop a tulle dress creasing?

Hang it with space around it, steam it on a low setting from a distance, and pack the skirt loosely with tissue between the layers.

What shoes go with a tulle dress?

Slim heeled sandals and pumps balance a full tulle skirt, and ballet flats keep a tulle midi light for day.

Is tulle the same as organza?

No. Tulle is a soft net with open holes; organza is a crisp, sheer plain weave with a smooth surface.
