tulle

Tulle is characterized by its hexagonal mesh structure, creating a lightweight, airy quality that provides structural volume without adding significant weight. It is most frequently associated with bridal wear and ballet costumes, where its ability to hold a stiff shape allows for the creation of dramatic, flared silhouettes. As a mass noun referring to a type of textile, it is treated as uncountable. One does not refer to a single tulle, but rather to a piece, a yard, or a bolt of tulle.
