T is for Tulle

Tulle is a very light, thin fabric made from fine threads woven into a small, open net. It is usually slightly stiff so it can be used to form shapes and support other fabrics. Tulle is often used for veils, ballet tutus, wedding dresses, costumes, and decorations.

V is for Velvet

Fabrics

Velvet is a type of fabric that is smooth on one side and tufted on the other side. The tufts are fine and even and give velvet a very soft, rich feel. Velvet has a pile and the sheen will change if you stroke it in different directions.
Velvet can be made from anything - velvet is simply the name for the weave. The best velvet is made from silk, but it can also be made from cotton or artificial fibres like nylon or polyester.
