tulle or tool?


Explanation:
If the spelling in the program is incorrect, than malmala is good, or even simply tul,
but "tool" can mean "to shape, form, or finish with a tool; especially : to letter or ornament (as leather or gold) by means of hand tools"
so if the dress is finely ornamented, maybe that is what they mean.

"simlat kelim" or "simla 'im kissim lekelim"


Explanation:
It brings to mind a dress with a lot of pockets for holding all kinds of tools, like a "tool vest", but this is only a guess. Need more context or a picture.
