Advantages and disadvantages of curtains with eyelets + self-production

Fashion trends

In 2020, designers advise abandoning complex lambrequins and flashy draperies, opting for a simplified design option for kitchen curtains. The presence of ruffles and frills is also best kept to a minimum.

Don’t forget, the main function of curtains is to protect the room from ultraviolet rays. The main selection criterion is style and naturalness, and we will adhere to it.

Fact!

Japanese and Scandinavian curtain styles are trending, characterized by practicality and thoughtfulness. Such curtains will add romance to the kitchen space, while at the same time making it light and fresh.

How to choose

Curtains with eyelets can be bought in specialized stores, ordered to be sewn at a curtain salon, or even sewn yourself (in fact, this will not be difficult).

When choosing curtains with eyelets for the kitchen, you should be guided by the following recommendations:

• Practicality - do not forget that the kitchen is a high-risk place. When choosing fabrics, it is necessary to avoid loose fabrics: velor, velvet, tapestries. If you want to buy curtains made from natural materials, linen and mixed fabrics are suitable. At least they are easy to wash.
• Volume - curtains with grommets look great, forming large and even folds. This becomes possible with high fabric density. To create a transparent, light interior, you need to use light tulle curtains.
• The length of curtains is an important parameter. It all depends on the size of the kitchen. Long curtains made of thick fabric reaching to the floor will weigh down a small kitchen. If you definitely want long curtains in a small kitchen, choose a light, lightweight fabric. Curtains up to the window sill are more often chosen for the kitchen. This is very practical because it makes it easier to use the window sill space.
• Even in the recent past, a window without a two-layer curtain could only be imagined in a government institution. If you're a fan of traditional family values, modern eyelet blinds complement roller and Roman blinds perfectly. This allows you to provide the kitchen with the necessary privacy, while leaving your secrets behind the curtains.
• There should be an even number of eyelets on the curtains so that the edges of the fabric on both sides face the wall.

When choosing fabric for eyelet curtains, do not forget that it requires twice as much fabric as traditional curtains. To form beautiful folds for the panel, the upper part of the fabric must be additionally sealed with grommet tape.

Textile

When choosing curtains for the kitchen, you should pay attention to the following popular materials:

• hemp;
• linen;
• cotton;
• polyester;
• chintz;
• silk.

To make the fabric durable and easy to care for, manufacturers are increasingly adding a little synthetics. Thanks to modern technologies, this does not deteriorate the structure of the canvas; it still retains all its natural qualities.

Examples of curtains in the kitchen interior with different types of curtains

Falling, flowing scalloped (French) curtains will look luxurious in the kitchen. Bright English curtains with a floral motif will become a self-sufficient decoration of the entire kitchen. Light, airy veil fabrics will allow natural daylight to quietly penetrate and bring freshness and a feeling of lightness and spaciousness to the interior.

French or scalloped curtains in the kitchen

Roman blinds are also an original solution for the kitchen. Like blinds, they are height adjustable. This allows you to control the degree of illumination of the space. If the kitchen is made in light colors and is well lit, then you can opt for a contrasting color. However, if your kitchen is dark and not well lit, then it is better to choose light-colored Roman blinds.

Also pay attention to Roman blinds, an ideal curtain option for the kitchen.

Among the varieties of kitchen curtains, I would like to highlight roller blinds, because they have an original appearance and style. They do not bend at the edges, they consist of a flat woven base treated with a special impregnation, so dust does not stick to them. Roller blinds can be open, which allows you to install them on a tilt-and-turn window. Their box type opens along guides. They can be combined with wall curtains, or can be used as an independent decorative element.

Roller blinds for the kitchen

Do you prefer minimalism in all design decisions? Then you will definitely like Japanese curtains. They move along the cornice on which they are fixed. If you need to reduce or increase the size of the window, then classic curtains with lambrequins are very suitable for this. This, among other things, will give the room a certain official solemnity.

Color solution

Here, in addition to personal taste preferences, it is necessary to take into account the layout of the kitchen, the level of illumination and the main colors present in the room.

1. Light colors are the most suitable option for small spaces.
2. For large areas, you can choose models with a discreet pattern.

Curtains on one side

This model will ideally complement any interior, draw attention to the window opening and skillfully hide finishing imperfections, if any. Asymmetry is applicable in any room: large or small, with high or low ceilings, with standard window openings or with windows of irregular shape and small size. Although, in fairness, it is worth noting that for windows of irregular shape, asymmetrical curtains are a real godsend. With their help, the room acquires a complete, harmonious appearance.

One of the most common options for asymmetrical window design is curtains on one side.

Finally, such designs provide freedom to experiment with ruffles, flounces, lambrequins and other details that do not fit into the generally accepted interior standards of individual styles.

A one-sided curtain can add personality to the interior and become a stylish design accent.

In general, there are a great many asymmetrical variations. For example, the right curtain is made shorter than the left one. This is an ideal option for a loggia door or for a practical arrangement of shelves and cabinets. Another option: one curtain is wider than the other. If a lambrequin is used, it can change its length diagonally, giving the window an unusual look.

The choice of fabric, shade, style and number of layers depends on the style of the room.

Asymmetry can manifest itself not only in parameters, but also in color scheme. Thus, curtains are made from fabrics of different colors, or colors are combined within each curtain. Typically, this stylistic solution is used for bright and functional interiors.

One-sided curtains can be decorated with twisted laces or chains.

A common option for one-sided curtains. Three-color model with lambrequin. One curtain hangs freely, the other is fixed with a tie. An asymmetrical soft lambrequin is the highlight of the composition.

One-sided curtains should be supported with asymmetrical details in the interior.

Another option: roller or Roman blinds are complemented by a one-sided curtain. A spectacular cornice and harmonious color scheme make the design of the window opening stylish and impressive.

Curtains on one side can be supplemented with Roman blinds.

Combined options

If you want to change the interior of your kitchen, you don’t have to undertake expensive renovations and buy new furniture. It is enough to choose curtains according to the color scheme, thereby refreshing the interior, giving it a completely new mood. There are no strict rules and prohibitions in modern design. Experiment, combine curtain options as

you like it better. It is permissible to use at the same time:

1. Classic curtains.
2. Curtains with eyelets.
3. Japanese and Roman.

It all depends on the design style, the main thing is that they do not contradict the rest of the design. But this does not prohibit the owners from imagining, bringing ideas to life.

How to choose the right color for curtains in the kitchen

For a small kitchen, it is better to choose light shades - beige, white, blue, yellow, light green.

Cold colors visually expand the space. The choice of white, cream, light beige, milky curtains is always successful, especially in the northern and western parts of the apartment, where there is little natural light.

Dark colors are not recommended for kitchen design if it is on the shaded side.

Rich shades of curtains are acceptable when the windows face the sunny side, or when the interior design does not allow the use of light colors.

The color of the curtains should be harmonious with the interior of the kitchen and not conflict with other design elements

When choosing the color of curtains, it is important to remember that they should not stand out from the style of the kitchen.

You can also choose fabrics with a pattern, you just need to choose the right one. Materials with the same pattern of polka dots, checks, and stripes come in Provence, classic and modern styles.

To decorate a kitchen in a rustic or vintage style, a classic option is tartan curtains in shades of blue, red, gray, and green. In the Provence style, the curtains on the windows echo the curtains on antique cabinets and niches used instead of doors. It looks very stylish if the furniture is classic, vintage or artificially aged.

These design tips will help you choose a color:

• Pastel shades, blue and green tones calm the appetite and nervous system;
• If the kitchen walls and furniture are too colorful, it is better to hang plain light curtains, this will smooth out the brightness;
• Dark shades are acceptable for lambrequins or roll-up curtains that block too much light;
• To prevent the kitchen from causing excessive appetite, be careful with shades of red and orange;
• Yellow, orange, beige - warm shades easily lift your spirits, they are ideal for the north side;
• If the walls in the kitchen are painted blue, then an excellent option would be to choose blue curtains, for purple walls - light lilac, green - lime or lemon.

Curtains and tulle

Good old classics never go out of style. Light, lightweight models always look relevant and fresh, fitting harmoniously into an eco-style interior. But there is also a drawback here:

1. The design visually “eats up” the space.
2. Window curtains require careful care.

Tulle is more suitable for kitchens with layouts where the work surface is located far from the window. Regarding the color scheme, everything is simple here. For example, the set is made in brown tones, which means it is better to choose the curtains to match. Floral fabrics on the windows go well with the upholstery of the kitchen chairs.

Curtains with eyelets in the interior

It is worth noting that such curtains will look great in any room. At the same time, they will still perform a number of practical functions. The colors and design allow you to recreate the designer’s intended image, and a practical mechanism will help you quickly and beautifully hang such curtains on the window.

When choosing ready-made curtains with rings, you must be guided by some rules that will allow you to most harmoniously and accurately select the desired length, width, as well as the type of fabric for such curtains, depending on the room where they are intended.

Here are the main ones:

• It is better to choose rings that are two centimeters wider in diameter than the cornice.
• The number of rings must only be even.
• The eyelets should be the same color as the curtains or curtain rods themselves.

Roman curtains

A laconic version of a smooth canvas that gathers into wavy folds when lifted will appeal to lovers of rustic style. The convenience of the design allows for efficient use of the space on the windowsill and near the window.

Note!

A huge number of colors allows you to choose an option that fits perfectly into any interior. Ease of maintenance is another undeniable advantage of this design.

Types of eyelets

Eyelets are divided according to the material of manufacture into:

• plastic ones are the most inexpensive;
• wooden - for rustic and Scandinavian styles;
• metal - made of stainless steel or brass; such eyelets can be made in gold, antique, chrome-plated, oxidized.

The most preferred option for kitchen interiors are plastic eyelets due to their practicality, low cost and ease of maintenance. Curtains with plastic eyelets can be easily washed in a washing machine - the rings will not rust or swell from water.

The diameter of the rings can also vary from small - about 30 mm, to large - 55 mm. For non-thick kitchen fabrics, it is recommended to use rings with an internal diameter of 35 mm and an external diameter of 55 mm. The shape of the eyelets can also vary - from standard rings to triangles, ovals and ornate patterns, in which the internal shape of the ring remains unchanged.

When choosing eyelets you need to consider:

• tone of cornice or curtains;
• interior of the room - color of furniture, accessories, etc.;
• when choosing the diameter of the ring hole, you need to focus on the diameter of the cornice pipe - plus 1–2 cm.

We can briefly list the following advantages of kitchen curtains with eyelets. They:

• reliable - even if you accidentally pull the panel, they will not break;
• practical - the curtain can be replaced in a matter of minutes if it gets dirty;
• comfortable - do not make noise when moving;
• beautiful - even waves forming a canvas on the eyelets look impressive and neat;
• durable - do not affect the fabric and do not spoil the fabric.

French curtains

The Provence style does not give way to its position. French curtains are in perfect harmony with it. Free access to the windowsill, what you need in the kitchen. The main thing is to know how to choose the right material, size (they can be long or short) and color scheme. As with previous options, it is noteworthy that the curtains are easy to care for, keeping them clean and tidy.

Advantages and disadvantages

The kitchen interior looks light and beautiful, in which curtains hang on an elegant cornice, draped in elegant folds. Thanks to the rings, such curtains open and close easily and quickly without getting stuck or jamming when moving.

Eyelets ensure the creation of uniform draperies, which have recently become especially popular. Literally any fabric is suitable for eyelets. The folds of curtains on the eyelets are kept smooth and neat and look symmetrical and attractive.

The cornice remains almost completely visible, being a beautiful decorative element, which is especially important for some styles. Changing curtains on grommets, which is important for the kitchen, is also much easier than on traditional hooks thanks to the wide free holes that quickly and without delay pass through the cornice pipe. The hanging process takes no more than two minutes. The curtains open literally in one motion, without making any noise.

Cornices for such curtains can be made of one or two pipes. The second option is less often used in ordinary kitchens, but looks great in spacious kitchens decorated in classic styles in country houses. Curtains on a rod can also be used to zone a room and separate the kitchen work area from the eating area or even the dining room in studios. Today this is a fairly popular design technique.

Other interesting options

1. Lovers of pomp and pomp should take a closer look at Austrian curtains. They are very reminiscent of the French ones. This type is not often used in modern interiors due to the fact that simplicity is in trend, which cannot be said about this type.
2. The versatility of roller blinds allows you to hang them in almost any interior, be it modern, country or eco. In addition to practicality, the models are distinguished by a variety of colors.
3. It’s easy to emphasize coziness and warmth with the help of two-color lifting curtains in the kitchen. They give the room respectability and originality. Knowledge of how to properly sew curtains in size and color will allow you to hang them even in a small room.
4. Thread curtains, also known as muslin, will help to create an additional accent in the interior. Extravagant home textiles are used to decorate and shade windows, as well as to zone space. In a modern setting they look especially stylish.

Advice!

If you want new changes in the apartment, just change the textiles on the windows - in many ways, it is this that sets the character of the room.

Popular types of curtains

Curtains, curtains, drapes... There are many options. You can, of course, choose a simple option - tulle fabric and curtains made of opaque dense or loose fabric. But if you want variety and style, you should find out what types of curtains exist and find the right option for yourself.

French curtains

French curtains are a thick silk fabric that is laced multiple times along its entire length. With the help of such cords, these curtains can, if desired, be lifted and collected at the eaves. You might have seen curtains like these in the theater - the same burgundy or snow-white curtains gathered along the entire height. The class of curtains is lifting, i.e. they do not move apart to the sides as we are used to, but rise up.

Fabrics from which French curtains are made:

• silk;
• veil;
• tulle;
• batiste;
• organza.

  Classic French curtains in the kitchen

The material can be smooth or with an embossed pattern, the main thing is that the fabric lays in smooth soft folds

Austrian curtains

Austrian curtains are similar to French ones. They are also laced, falling in folds and also liftable, the difference is that Austrian curtains are laced only at the bottom edge, which is why when lifting Austrian curtains only the lower part is folded, while the upper part remains smooth.

Austrian curtains fit well into a classic or French interior

Roman curtains

Roman blinds are similar to fabric blinds (there are horizontal rigid slats inside the fabric folds). When lifting such curtains, they fold into identical horizontal and even folds. Linen, velvet, velor and tulle are used to sew Roman blinds. When unfolded, patterns and designs look great on Roman blinds, because the fabric is smooth due to the wooden slats.

Roman blinds are a very convenient option for the kitchen

Japanese curtains

Japanese curtains are a kind of vertical blinds-partitions or, as they are also called, screen or panel. Japanese curtains are based on a sheet of fabric and two wooden slats at the bottom and top of the curtain. Oriental style, high-tech and minimalism are true friends of such curtains.

Roller blinds

Roller blinds are a canvas made of thick fabric, most often cotton or linen, which is wound over the top edge onto a metal pipe to which it is attached. And a weighting in the form of a rack is attached to the bottom edge.

Curtains with lambrequin

Curtains with a lambrequin are similar to classic sliding curtains. Lambrequin is a transverse drapery made of dense fabric with flounces, folds, and tassels decorating the upper part of the window opening. Curtains with a lambrequin are made in different styles - from simple, close to rustic curtains, to luxurious, rich decoration. Look at the photo for different options for curtains with a lambrequin in the kitchen interior.

Crossed curtains

Crossed curtains are one of the most unusual and sophisticated types of curtains, despite their simplicity. Such curtains are made from two sheets of fabric, which are connected along the top edge, and then diverge downwards to different sides of the window. Crossed curtains are permanently attached to a rail above the window or thrown over a cornice (they can even be a single piece of fabric).

Crossed curtains look beautiful in contrasting colors

Pleated curtains

Pleated curtains are made from pleated fabric, and from a distance they look like blinds. This beautiful and soft fabric looks good in combination with straight, long floor-length curtains and traditional drapery fabrics.

Pleated curtains fit well on small windows

Asymmetry in design

How to choose curtains for the kitchen is a complex but interesting question. You can decorate the room in an original way using colors and asymmetrical combinations. Moreover, in the second case, even a plain fabric looks very impressive and airy at the same time.

The asymmetrical design is ideal for decorating window openings with a balcony door. With the light hand of designers, the asymmetry effect can be achieved using different colors and fabric densities. If it is necessary to visually increase the height of a small window, use a vertical accent.

What fabric is suitable for kitchen curtains

Which fabric to choose? The material of the kitchen curtain should, first of all, be wear-resistant and easy to clean. It is desirable that it is easy to wash and dry as quickly as possible. Good fabrics for kitchen curtains include: linen, chintz, silk, polyester, tulle. Some manufacturers offer special material that is resistant to grease, soot and vapors. It does not change its original appearance for a long time, but subsequently requires special care.

Linen, cotton, satin or teak

Natural linen and cotton, smooth satin or dense teak will suit all design options of the eco-style, as well as most ethnic trends, including Provence, country, and all variations on the theme of Slavic styles. In addition, such curtains are safe for health and pleasant to use. The downside is that they quickly absorb odors, get dirty easily, and need to be washed carefully. So using such curtains in the kitchen is fraught with certain difficulties, although they are beautiful and environmentally friendly.

Velvet, corduroy, velor

Heavy, loose fabrics such as velvet, corduroy, velor are unlikely to be appropriate in the kitchen. They get dirty very quickly, absorb odors, and their heavy, albeit noble, design is unlikely to be suitable for this room. Tapestry options (also called furniture fabrics) are suitable if you want to create a classic kitchen with a slightly conservative style.

Jacquard fabrics

Jacquard fabrics are the best choice for thick kitchen curtains. These fabrics have a dense structure that allows them to hold their shape well, absorb odors minimally, and remain resistant to fading and stains. Jacquard is distinguished by a wide variety of not only colors, shades and patterns, but also the quality of workmanship. You can choose a lightweight option that will make the interior more dynamic, or opt for a heavier, more elegant fabric weave. In any case, jacquard curtains will be an excellent choice for the kitchen.

Satin and silk curtains

Satin and silk curtains, of course, look luxurious, as do taffeta curtains, but from the point of view of practical use in the kitchen, they simply are not suitable. Any drop of liquid or fat will leave a mark on the delicate surface of these tissues. So save them for the bedroom or living room. Although, if your kitchen is only used for drinking a cup of morning coffee, then you can take a risk and still decorate the interior with silk or taffeta.

Tulle, chiffon, organza

Light fabrics, which include tulle, chiffon, organza and other airy, weightless materials, should be used very carefully. The fact is that most of them are completely unstable to high temperatures and other kitchen hazards. If your stove is located in close proximity to a window, then it’s better to forget about such options altogether. If the shape of the room allows you to experiment with light fabrics, then take advantage of this to create an impressive and pleasant window design. Light curtains greatly refresh the appearance of the room. In addition, they protect well from the excessive curiosity of others.

You can also use thicker organza curtains to decorate your kitchen window, as an addition to light tulle.

What to look for when choosing

Hot steam and grease from cooking are somehow present in the kitchen. Don't forget about this when choosing curtains. In addition, consider the following:

1. Functionality - the material should mask the space and protect it from prying eyes. Especially if we are talking about the first floor. In addition, protect from sunlight and at the same time allow sufficient light and air to pass through for a comfortable and safe stay in the room.
2. Practicality - ideally, preference should be given to materials treated with a special substance that prevents fading in the sun and absorption of odors. High-quality impregnation, in addition to all of the above, repels dust and dirt. But, despite the fact that the curtain looks like new for a long time, it must be washed in a timely manner. The material of kitchen curtains should be wear-resistant and dry quickly.
3. Aesthetics is no less important. A well-chosen model decorates the space, correctly placing accents.

What are eyelet curtains?

Eyelets consist of rings of various sizes and blocks. They are used not only for attaching curtains, but also for clothing and for creativity, such as scrapbooking. Curtains with grommets form a beautiful drapery that gives beautiful volume to the curtains.

The following types of eyelets can be distinguished: with small and large rings. The last type makes the process of hanging curtains a little easier. Such eyelets are attached directly to the cornice, while when using small rings, it is also necessary to use hooks that fasten the eyelets and the cornice.

Curtains with eyelets with large rings. Fastening to the cornice.

Curtains with eyelets with small rings. Hooks are used for attaching to the cornice.

Currently, rings can be made of different types of materials: wood, plastic and metal. Since most often thick and fairly heavy fabric is chosen for curtains with grommets, it is best to choose metal rings . They will last longer and create a beautiful drapery without sagging under the weight of the curtains.

When choosing curtains with rings, the cornice itself also plays an important role. It is clearly visible as it penetrates the eyelets.

The main types of strips that are used for curtains with eyelets:

• Wooden;
• Metal;
• Plastic.

If you choose lighter fabrics for curtains, such as tulle or organza, then plastic eyelets are also suitable. In addition to their low cost, they are also not subject to corrosion, like metal ones.

Tulle is a delicate material, so metal rings can easily damage the fabric. And this is where plastic rings come to the rescue.

But wooden eyelets will look great in country or ethnic style. Also, it is an environmentally friendly material, which makes it suitable for supporters of everything natural and safe for health.

The shape of the rings is also quite varied. If previously there were only round shapes of different diameters, today modern technologies make it possible to create various geometric shapes. By the way, the entire window decor depends on this.

To make eyelet curtains look luxurious on the window, you need to choose them correctly.

The basic rule is that the rings should match the color of the main material of the curtains or stand out in contrast.

Designers advise choosing a curtain length that is one and a half times longer than the curtain rod itself. Then the curtains will form uniform and symmetrical folds. Otherwise, if the length is much longer, then unsightly fabric sagging cannot be avoided.

In order for curtains to last a long time and at the same time not lose their aesthetics, it is necessary to wash them correctly. If you choose to machine wash, then you need to put the curtains in a special washing bag.

Instead of powder, it is better to use shampoo to wash your hair. It will not leave unnecessary streaks and will not deform the fabric. But the washing temperature should be selected based on the fabric of the curtains.

Most often, this type of curtain is washed by hand. Some recommend removing the rings themselves from the curtains for better preservation and durability. However, this is not a mandatory item. It all depends on the quality of both the rings themselves and the curtains.

To avoid rubbing with your hands and preventing deformation of the fabric, it is best to soak the curtains and only then rinse them thoroughly. If the fabric does not require ironing, then the curtains can be hung on the curtain rod while still wet. However, you should avoid direct sunlight, which can lead to rapid fading of the color of the curtains.

Combining different curtains is also great for using eyelets. It will be best if one layer is made of thin fabric and the other is much denser. The result is a very sophisticated window decoration option. This option will look especially harmonious in the bedroom.

Color selection

Let's consider such an important issue as choosing the color of curtains.

It is advisable to choose a shade of curtains so that it fits harmoniously into the interior of the kitchen, without standing out from it and without irritating the eyes. Be guided by your taste and various examples from magazines and websites.

Since most of our kitchens are not very large, it is important that the color does not make a small room even smaller. Pay special attention to this. It is best to use light, airy materials that will make the kitchen space wider, higher, and freer. Plain curtains with a large print are preferable, since a small ornament from a distance will look like dirt, an unkempt motley pattern.

An excellent color option is stripes, checks, and floral patterns. A contrasting print, even in similar shades, looks great.

Pure white curtains for the kitchen are not a desirable option, since they will have to be washed too often, and they do not look entirely appropriate in a functional kitchen space. It is best to use not the snow-white, boiled version, but muted ones: beige, baked milk, soft pink, milky. A combination of several soft pastel shades will also look great.

If you don’t want to draw attention to the window, it’s better to opt for one-sided curtains in neutral colors, matched to the kitchen walls or furniture. In this case, avoid folds, draperies, and flashy designs.

If the kitchen walls are covered with patterned wallpaper, choose plain curtains so as not to cause visual dissonance due to two different prints.

Stylists recommend using warm colors for kitchen curtains. Cold shades in this room do not look very good, since the kitchen is a fire zone . Also, do not use too flashy, provocative, irritating or intense prints for kitchen curtains. It is important to create a relaxing atmosphere in this room, and bright drawings will distract attention and interfere with evening relaxation over a cup of tea.

Nowadays, manufacturers often impregnate curtain fabric with a special solution that makes the final product practical and stain-resistant. One-sided curtains with such impregnation (for example, Teflon) will be an excellent solution for decorating a kitchen window.

Stylists advise purchasing more laconic curtains for the kitchen than for other rooms in the house. The kitchen is a functional room, so the curtains here should be practical, and not too noticeable, not too decorative. In addition, they will have to be washed quite often, so the fabric of the product must be appropriate: durable and wear-resistant.

If the kitchen is decorated in dark or bright colors, it is best to choose a delicate, airy model in a light shade. This choice is justified by the fact that the product will not block daylight and will not make the room even darker. It will also be useful to know what Tomdom kitchen curtains look like.

Accessories

What decorations can be used for a one-sided kitchen curtain. First of all, the curtain is decorated with a decorative tieback. It can be either invisible or bright and contrasting. A twisted cord instead of a traditional tie will look natural in a nautical-style kitchen. A decorative chain is also a pick-up option. If the chain is thin and elegant, it can be used to secure even the lightest tulle.
