Tulle: fabric with a rich history and numerous uses<\/h2>\n

The historical findings speak of a presence of tulle fabric<\/strong> already in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, but this material is conquered the scene around the eighteenth century, in the French city that bears his name, Tulle<\/strong>.

Tulle became part of the dance world when in 1832 the ballet seamstress La Sylphide<\/strong> chose it as a fabric to create a skirt that guaranteed perfect movements of pointed feet and that gave the idea of celestial lightness.

Since then, the use of tulle in fashion has literally exploded, just think of the beautiful creations of Christian Dior<\/strong> for the movie stars.<\/p>\n

Today to sew thin fabrics such as tulle<\/strong>it is necessary to have a specific needle and thread, as well as a strip of paper that will be useful to give greater thickness to the fabric during the use of the sewing machine, which should be used without putting too much pressure on the tissue. Once the work is finished, it will be necessary to remove the paper from the seams with the utmost delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
