not silk tulle...

Re: veil type question
Is bridal illusion the standard type that you mostly see when you go the store?

Re: veil type question
you know i'm a little confused about it. when i went to barrons at tri-county, i asked what their veils are made out of and they said, tulle. i said o, well if i want mine made out of bridal illusion can i get that done, and the guy said, o it's the same thing.
then i emailed a seller on ebay (honeymooneve) and asked her if her veils were made out of bridal illusion and she said no, but that her tulle and bridal illusion are very similar (she now sells bridal illusion veils).
so i'm assuming that there's not too much of a difference between regular tulle and bridal illusion--but i believe most tulle veils are made out of bridal illusion.
ETA: O and it's my 900th post. Only 100 more posts to go till i get my free tshirt!

Re: veil type question
Just found this on tradewindtiaras.com.
Bridal Illusion Our standard veils, and the vast majority of veils on the market, are made from a fabric known in the industry as bridal illusion. This tulle is essentially a very fine polyester netting. Soft & sheer, bridal illusion exhibits a diamond-shaped weave. Veils made from bridal illusion have slightly more body than those made from silk or English netting. Bridal illusion is available in white, diamond white, and ivory. We offer bridal illusion veils in each of these colors in 54', 72', and 108' widths.
English Netting We also offer veils in English netting. This tulle is made from cotton and features a hexagonal pattern weave. Veils made from English netting fall with a slightly heavier drape than those of bridal illusion. We offer English netting veils in white at 43', 72' and 108' widths. Ivory is available in 43' width only
Silk Tulle Silk tulle is exceptionally sheer and luxurious. Like English netting, silk tulle also features a hexagonal weave. Silk, however is more soft and fluid than either bridal illusion or English netting. Silk veils have been a hallmark of bridal elegance for centuries. We offer silk veils in silk white (similar to diamond white bridal illusion) and ivory. Silk veils are available in widths up to 70'.
