Mr Max was VERY enthusiastic, "You know I like drapey, and this is drapey plus plus plus!" but I still didn't notice the sheer insets. Then looked up the catalog picture, and view on model made things, well, clear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1771113 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 16:30:23 +0000 Book of Modern Muses 1771113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think tulle in dresses and in skirts is especially pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1771059 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 12:43:29 +0000 lyn67 1771059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, &nbsp;there is no&nbsp;&nbsp;way I could fit &nbsp;tulle into my &nbsp;regular wardrobe:-) but I've just bought myself a very soft and not so full &nbsp;tulle black midi skirt at H&amp;M this Xmass for my dressy capsule- to wear it with a thin metallic knitted sweater (untucked) that's all I can imagine myself in, but still very tickled about:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1770927 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 21:14:54 +0000 Jane 1770927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah Jessica Parker style from SATC!</p> <p>Or black underskirt, with black heavy overskirt with a clip to show the under skirt, rather like Deborah wore a few months back.

I think I am with Janet. I am having a difficult time imagining tulle fitting in with my style. Perhaps a top with a lovely tulle illusion neckline would be an option. Or maybe a tote or handbag with tulle accents? Personally, any tulle on the bottom half would be out. The "giant ballerina" look is not a good one for me. ;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1768112 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:16:13 +0000 cindysmith 1768112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be the weirdo who wore a tulle skirt with some RATE boots (I seem to recall my friend Amber--who was very punk--doing things like that in the 80s). As for suggestions for ladies who aren't weird like me, I could totally see a tulle skirt for date night (obviously), or even Sunday brunch. </p> <p>Personally, I'm excited for deconstructed shirts and maybe some ragged/jagged/uneven hemlines (for me it would have to be a maxi or long midi skirt because I just feel weird in anything shorter than that). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1768110 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:11:31 +0000 Janet 1768110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hard time imagining tulle working on me. Just doesn't feel like me, and I can't imagine an occasion when it would feel appropriate. However, who knows? If some really cool usage came up, in a silhouette that reads edgy sophistication rather than girlie, I could see it. It's lovely on women who have a style that suits it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1768109 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:03:10 +0000 RobinF 1768109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some interesting ideas here. Not too excited about the 80's, we'll have to see how that translates into actual street wear. I like the various hems, that could be fun. I have a tulle skirt that I wear only occasionally but love. For some reason it feels dressy to me but I am a very casual dresser so maybe it wouldn't seem dressy to you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1768084 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:11:12 +0000 Anonymous 1768084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 40s and recently got two tulle skirts that I love. You could go that route. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1768075 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 10:10:18 +0000 Tisa 1768075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You couldn't go wrong with a nice tulle top. I've never had one, but looking at the pictures in your link I got the idea when I noticed the top of the last dress. So gorgeous. I'm sure you will find something appropriate for you and your style, if you look in that direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-wear-tulle#post-1768064 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 06:41:00 +0000 minimalist 1768064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nr. 7 on this list:<br /> <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/spring-summer-2017-fashion-trends" rel="nofollow">http://www.vogue.co.uk/gallery.....ion-trends</a></p> <p>I'm trying to get better about trying new things as they appear. As I'm looking at putting together a summer wardrobe for a warmer climate than I've been in over the past years, this seems like the ideal chance to choose a few very current pieces. </p> <p>How would you, personally, fit tulle into a middle-aged woman's regular wardrobe? I'm tickled by the idea. </p>
