Wedding Dress Wednesday :: Frothy Frocks
Tulle was originally the fabric upon which lace is stitched. It was not an official fabric until a factory in Tulle, France started mass producing it, thus making it more affordable. Queen Victoria started the tulle tradition by wearing it as a veil for her wedding in 1870. From that point forward, it was used in every wedding way imaginable. Tulle is sometimes overused in poufy petticoats that resemble whipped-like topping that engulf the body. However, this week’s collection show classier options use tulle to its advantage by delicately layering it over silks or with rows of ruffles.
