In order to help with your selection for a tulle layer, over or under a wedding dress or trailing down from head to toe, here's an informal guide to our tulle choices for your wedding.
Crescendo
One of our most popular chocies for veiling because of handle combined with price. As a nylon based tulle it's great value for money and has a super drape because of its light handle and close knit. Not exclusively for veils, this tulle looks great as a floaty outer layer on a dress. This quality is available in ivory, silk white and white. This tulle measures 295cms wide and can be washed at 40 degrees.
Illusionary
A fabulous chocie for stretch! Anyone who wants to create an illusion neckline or illusion anywhere on a wedding dress or evening gown this is the tulle for you. Illusionary Tulle is a very fine, lightweight article with elasticated stretch in both directions. This fabric measures 140cms (55") wide and has a very soft handle and can be used in a multitude of different ways. The weight of this tulle is 28g/sm.
Sensation
Just as the name says this wonderful silk tulle is just sensational. Made of 100% silk, this quality has a wonderful floaty, drapey quality with an open honeycomb knit. Available in ivory, white and black. Sensation measures 185cms/73" wide and weighing 22grams (5 mommy) per square metre. It is also available at 370cms/146" as Phenomenon.
Carnival
This light and lovely tulle rivals Crescendo in terms of popularity. It is a very light tulle with a close weave. It’s main advantage is it is offered in a range of colours which have just been added to to include Antique Rose, Blush and Silver. A soft knitted Polyamide Italian Tulle, that measures 150 cm (59") wide, which is available in 31 colours, and which has a weight of 19.5 gsm. Carnival tulle can be used for many uses from wedding dresses, over lays, ballet tutus, underskirts and petticoats to create. This product can be washed at 30 degrees.
Furore
Furore is a 100% Silk Tulle, measuring 185cms (73") wide and weighing 22grams (5 mommy) per square metre. It has a firm handle handle which makes it ideal if you wanted a little shape or structure in the garment. Hand washing at 40 degrees will reduce the resin used on Furore and soften the tulle to give it more drape.
Symphony
Is a soft net that’s slightly stiffer than chiffon or organza but looser, with a better drape than netting. It is sheer and light weight and is often used in the making of full skirts, veils and trains. Our fabric is 132cms wide and is available in 4 colours. This product can be washed but no warmer than 40 degrees.
Sparkle
