Fabulous Tulle Dresses – Favorite Fashion Style of Female Dancers from the Early 20th Century

Tulle is a lightweight, very fine Netting, which is often starched. It can be made of various fibres, including silk, nylon, and rayon. Tulle is most commonly used for veils, gowns (particularly wedding gowns), and ballet tutus. Tulle comes in a wide array of colors and it can also easily be dyed to suit the needs of the consumer.

The name comes from Tulle, a city in the southern central region of France. Tulle was well known as a center of lace and silk production in the 18th century, and early tulle netting probably originated in this French city. Tulle netting certainly appeared earlier in Parisian ballet costume than in most other nations, suggesting that tulle netting may have been more readily available there than elsewhere.

Dresses were made from tulle fabric favored by female dancers in the early 20th century and popularized from the 1920s. These vintage photos will prove this.
