I have always adored tulle as a fashion fabric…
I remember my wedding veil… masses of flowing tulle… very simple… cut in layers that framed my gown in a mist… My most loved photograph from that day is one of my veil… as the wind gushed, the veil was blown up and around… cocooning us in our own little world… Happy memories…
My favourite skirt is an old Jill Sander that I picked up many, many years ago… It was the skirt that I was photographed in for My French Life… running up the stairs at home… I wore it often with a black turtleneck or tee shirt, depending on the season and a pair of ballet flats… sometimes Converse… if I wanted to dress it down…
Tulle works best when it is worn in contrast… dark with light… a heavy sweater with the flimsiness of the fabric… it’s a great look and one that can be accessorised to the limit…
In the summer I add all the sparkles over my black tee shirt… in the winter I add a silk scarf at the neck and opaque black tights…
Tulle can range from the bridal to the bohemian… and as far as the elegance of Audrey and the genius of Givenchy…
I’m a big fan… Do you like tulle? xv
In case you do….
Fabulous tulle skirt from DKNY… here
I would wear this one with a dark tee shirt and short jacket… ballet flats.. or even your leopard loafers for a more casual look…
Longer black tulle skirt here….
This one needs a full black petticoat and a little styling… but it’s inexpensive, a great length and shape… Wear it with a loose cream coloured sweater and ballet flats…
or if you prefer just a hint of tulle… this skirt… here
Leopard loafers… here Ballet Flats… here Converse… here
