Taking up a bit of a challenge, trying out something unusual

Hello Family

In the light of fulfilling our goals for the year I took up a challenge to sew something unique especially one that has always giving me a hard time to work with. A part of the challenge is for us to talk about what skills we have learnt for the year. I can say that aside learning one or two things I have been able to work out my skills to the level of perfection I desire.
Today I am working with a tulle net, I have always admired how they make elegant tulle dresses for children like this one below

I keep wondering how they make these dresses and the tulle doesn't get torn in the process. One needs some level of care and diligence to be able to make these kind of outfit.
In the spirit of sewing Christmas outfit today I started this journey to challenge myself and see how much I can work with and handle a tulle net.
Making some toto skirt with it or a gathers is really easy but when it comes to sewing that is when the problem of tearing happens .

Having sewn some outfits for my friends in the past week today I started making the outfits for my siblings and because I have some beautiful little girl that will look great in a tulle dress I want to try my skill working out a tulle dress for them.

I purchased some Damask fabrics with a fork of shine and wish to see if I can combine it with tulle to make the girls outfits.

You can sew the my first mistake here, while sewing the yoke to the bodice,the needle has caught hold of the net and I have a tear already🥲.
Maybe not much harm yet

This is not just going to be the children's Christmas outfits, I have another purpose in mind for this, I wish to get a photoshoot of their outfits alongside with the sewing projects I have started earlier this year, this will be used to set up my business page on Instagram and Facebook. We all know that any business that isn't online will run in obscurity, having my fashion business means that I will be having both an Online and an offline office and business space.

To this effect I had made the clothes pattern first, cut out the fabrics carefully .

Added all the necessary stay been very careful with the iron to avoid stains, wishing to make a clean and fine work that will be presentable and acceptable to the online community.

Would there be special needles or any other technique used to sew this fragile material, any assistance and idea from everyone is welcome.

I have seen many of your sewings here and I am certain your dress will be very beautiful, don't worry about the little mistakes you are making on the dress, just trust the process.
