Stitches - What is the super thin Bridal Veiling material called, I can't find it!?

What is the super thin Bridal Veiling material called, I can't find it!?

I need a few answers here, actually. I am looking for the vocabulary involved in how to gauge the thickness and thinness of bridal veiling. I know with sheets, its thread count, but w/ veiling, what do they call each type? I'm looking to buy fabric online, and I wanted to get a very small quantity of ivory veiling that is soft, that you can sew embroidered sequined designs on, and that is almost invisible. I have seen veils that show the whole back of the gown, and I don't even know what that kind of veiling is called! This is for a vow renewal and Its going to be more like a hair decoration, rather than a veil, like a drape, off the barette or comb in the back of my hair, not dropping too far down. I've heard the "experts" say don't wear a veil to vow renewals, but I'm not accepting their dictatorship and changing the custom to do my own thing. :) It really means something to me to wear one and to have my daughter create the design for the embroidery. P.S. I know it is called Tulle. But the scratchy stuff that is really thick and not very easy to see through is called Tulle, as well. I'm looking for the name of the soft almost invisible veiling and the correct term for how far apart the threads are, the gauge, if you will... of the veiling so that I can look it up on the internet.

Tulle. Also called: bridal illusion, English netting, and silk tulle.
Tulle... I've seen some made of Chiffon as well.

Tulle can be made out of different material suck as silk, nylon, and rayon. Maybe you need to look up the differences on each of these types of tulle to find out what you are looking for. I read that the majority of tulle is bobbinet. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-tulle-netting.htm
The scratchy stuff that is thick and you can't see through is netting not tulle. Tulle can be very thin and transparent. Go to a fabric store and look at what they have.
