Tulle Fabric by the Yard: High-Quality Tulle for TUTU Skirts & Decor

Tulle is a delicate, netted fabric that adds a touch of elegance, playfulness, or drama to any project. At bubufabrics.com, you will find a wide variety of tulle—from extra-soft bridal options to stiffer variants that hold their shape perfectly. Whether you are sewing a wedding gown, a child's tutu, or event decorations, we have the perfect match for you.

1. Types of Tulle: Which One to Choose?

• Soft Tulle (Bridal): Flowy and exceptionally soft to the touch. Ideal for veils, ethereal layered skirts, or as a delicate detail on evening wear.

• Medium Stiff Tulle: The most versatile choice. It holds volume better than soft tulle but remains comfortable to wear. Great for classic "tutu" skirts.

• Stiff Tulle (Decorative): Features larger mesh and a firm structure. Primarily used for petticoats that need extreme volume or for decorations (venue styling, car decor, gift wrapping).

• Stretch Tulle: Contains elastane for flexibility. Used for dress inserts, lingerie, or dance costumes that need to fit snugly to the body.

• Embellished Tulle: Luxury variants featuring sequins, dots, or embroidery that turn any simple pattern into a masterpiece.

2. What to Sew: More Than Just Skirts

✨ Fashion & Special Occasions

3. Sewing Tips: How to Tame the Delicate Mesh

Sewing tulle can be tricky, but these tips will make it easier:

• Cutting: Tulle does not fray! This means you don’t need to finish the edges, saving you plenty of time.

• Needle: Use a thin needle (size 70 or a Microtex needle) to avoid tearing holes in the fine mesh.

• Stitching: We recommend a longer straight stitch. If your machine "eats" the fabric, place a piece of thin tissue paper underneath while sewing and simply tear it away afterward.

• Gathering: Tulle looks best when richly gathered. Use two parallel basting stitches with loose tension and pull the threads evenly to create volume.

4. Care: Handle with Gentleness

• Washing: We recommend hand washing or using a laundry bag on a delicate cycle at 30°C.

• Ironing: Tulle is heat-sensitive! Iron only on the lowest setting through a clean cotton cloth, or use a garment steamer from a safe distance.

• Storage: It is better to hang tulle garments to prevent the delicate mesh from creasing
