Fatin is a translucent polyester mesh fabric with a density of 15 to 40 g/m². Its second name is “English mesh”, therefore, in one layer, the material can only be used in the manufacture of veils, and for sewing dresses, multi-layer structures of varying degrees of splendor are created. At the same time, even the most magnificent wedding dress, which took 20 meters of tulle, remains almost weightless. Wearing it to the wedding, the bride may not be afraid of fatigue.
The mesh is breathable so you won't get too hot in summer. And in cool weather, the air gap between the layers will not allow the newlywed to freeze during a walk or photo shoot.
The most important advantage of the English grid is the ability to keep its shape. Pledged folds do not straighten out on their own during movements, tulle flowers or frills retain appearance until the very end of the wedding party.
When sewing wedding dresses, tulle is usually combined with denser materials. The corset is often satin or lace, embellished with embroidery and other decorative elements. In combination with it, a puffy skirt made of several layers of tulle looks especially airy, and the bride's outfit seems delicate and weightless.

The most popular wedding dresses that use tulle are dresses with a fluffy skirt. Its style depends on the model, so the bride has the opportunity to order both a long and a short dress using an English mesh. By shape long skirts from tulle are divided into several types:
- the multi-tiered "herringbone" at the waist is rather narrow, but gradually expands downwards;
- falling multilayer;
- floral (the lower part of the hem is a garland of details resembling flowers);
- "torn" (symmetrical or asymmetrical models).
Short ones can be designed in the form of a tutu, have a gradation in length or reach the knee.
Lush tulle dresses like many brides, besides, they fit almost any type of figure. Tall, slender brides in such dresses seem feminine and graceful. Girls with an hourglass figure look graceful and elegant. Petite newlyweds may seem taller, but they should give preference to moderately curvaceous models.
It is worth considering that wedding dresses made of tulle with a fluffy skirt require the rejection of massive jewelry and decorative elements. If your choice is a tiered skirt, you should not complement the image with a veil in several layers. A flower in hair, a ribbon or a veil will look much more elegant.
Some brides like tulle so much that they order not only a wedding dress from this fabric, but also decorations for the hall. However, this approach is not always successful, because in the photo the dress will merge with the background of the scenery. The exception is models with colored elements.

The English mesh is made from a synthetic thread, so it can be electrified. This can lead to not the most pleasant consequences: small particles will begin to stick to the fabric, the tiers of the skirt will not be so lush, and it will not be very comfortable to walk. Therefore, stylists strongly recommend treating a tulle wedding dress with a special antistatic agent. Processing is usually carried out on the eve of the celebration, so that the smell has time to disappear. Using a can, it is easy to apply the active ingredient to each of the layers of the dress, as well as to the veil. This must be done from the inside out. If you do not want to use household chemicals, a cotton petticoat can be the solution.

How to sew a tulle on a wedding dress
If during the fitting or the wedding celebration itself you accidentally damaged a tulle dress, do not despair: there are several ways to mask the defect. If an unfortunate incident occurred during the celebration and you urgently need to put the outfit in order, you can use a few tricks:
- if the place of the tear is hidden by the tiers of the skirt, you can glue it from the inside with tape or make a few stitches by connecting the edges of the mesh;
- in case of accidental damage to the skirt in front, you can use a set of pins and flowers or pompoms (pin off the gap with a pin, close it with a flower, and pin the rest to the hem, creating a symmetrical or asymmetrical pattern;
- in case of damage to the side (often happens when the car door is unsuccessfully slammed), you can try to save the situation by closing the gap with drapery, but only if the skirt is symmetrical.
If the trouble happened during the fitting, you can carry out a high-quality restoration of the mesh in the atelier or bridal salon. Masters can either completely replace the damaged layer, or put a beautiful appliqué made of lace, guipure, feathers or brocade. This will slightly change the concept of the outfit, but it will look like new.
