What Does "Tulle Match Skin" Mean? A Guide to This Custom Bridal Option
What Is the "Tulle Match Skin" Option?
When browsing our custom gown options, you may have noticed a question that reads: "Tulle Match Skin?" If you're wondering what this means, you're not alone — it's one of our most frequently asked questions, and we're here to break it down clearly.
Which Gowns Does This Apply To?
This option only applies to gowns that feature sheer tulle detailing, such as:
- Illusion necklines
- Sheer or illusion sleeves
- Open or sheer backs
If your chosen style does not include any of these features, you can skip this option entirely.
What Does "Yes" Mean?
Selecting YES means you'd like the sheer tulle portions of your gown to be custom-tinted to closely match your natural skin tone, creating a seamless, barely-there illusion effect. This is ideal for brides who want the neckline, sleeves, or back to look as natural as possible — as if the dress is floating on the skin.
⚠️ A photo of your bare skin is required when choosing this option so our seamstresses can match the tulle as accurately as possible.
What Does "No" Mean?
Selecting NO means the tulle will simply match the color of the dress fabric — whether that's ivory, champagne, blush, or your chosen shade. This is the standard finish and works beautifully for most styles.
How to Decide
Not sure which to choose? Here's a quick guide:
- Choose YES if you want a natural skin-illusion effect and are comfortable sharing a photo of your skin tone.
- Choose NO if you prefer the tulle to blend with the dress color, or if your gown does not feature sheer sections.
