Tulle (/tuːl/ TOOL) is a lightweight, very fine, stiff netting. It can be made of various fibres, including silk, nylon, polyester and rayon. Tulle is most commonly used for veils, gowns (particularly wedding gowns), and ballet tutus.
Also asked, what is tutu material called?
The tutu is a dress worn as a costume in a classical ballet performance, often with attached bodice. It may be made of tarlatan, muslin, silk, tulle, gauze, or nylon.
Simply so, why do they call it a tutu?
The word “tutu” is derived from the French “cucu,” referring to a person's bottom. The tutu's name may also simply indicate the placement of netting that was developed, instead, to give the skirts more body. However it got its name, the tutu has become synonymous with ballet.
Cut 24 layers of tulle that same way it's explained in version #1, but this time double your radius. If you're using wide double-folded tulle like I did, you'll get 2 layers every time you cut, you you'll only need to cut 12 times!
