Alyce Paris 62043 Prom Dress

Soft tulle is a specialized variation that's been treated or constructed to have a more supple, fluid hand feel compared to traditional tulle which can be stiff and scratchy. The softness is achieved through finer netting, specialized finishing treatments, or looser weaving that creates a fabric with better drape and movement. This makes soft tulle more comfortable against skin and more forgiving in terms of fit—it moves with your body rather than maintaining rigid shape. For A-line skirts specifically, soft tulle creates that floating, ethereal quality while remaining lightweight and easy to manage. The softer hand also means the fabric photographs with more graceful folds and natural movement rather than the structured, stiff appearance of traditional tulle.

Decorative bow details on formal gowns are typically secured through multiple attachment methods to ensure they stay in place during extended wear. The bow is usually hand-tacked at several strategic points—not just at the knot center but also at the loop ends and tail tips—using reinforced stitching that's hidden within the bow's folds. Many designs also incorporate a stable backing or base layer beneath the bow that's sewn directly to the dress, with the decorative bow elements then secured to this foundation. Quality construction means the bow maintains its shape and position throughout dancing and movement. If a bow does shift slightly, it's usually easy to adjust back into place, and the multiple attachment points prevent it from coming loose or falling off entirely.
