A fine fabric used for dresses or decoration (5)

I believe the answer is:

tulle

(Other definitions for tulle that I've seen before include "Fine net fabric used for hat trimming, etc." , "Fine silky net used in veils" , "Silk net fabric" , "Veil material" , "Delicate netted cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
