As part of my
research into veiling I’ve bought myself a commercial pattern for a selection
of veils ranging from a short circular veil to a long trailing version. It is
interesting to see how they are constructed. Although some are made of one
piece of fabric others are composed of a short ‘blusher’ veil that covers the
face and a longer piece of netting that hangs down the back of the dress. I
think I’ll be using the short circular veils to start with, as my aim is to
show off the lace and embellishments I’ll be adding rather than having swathes
of netting, which would probably look very attractive on a bride but will just
fill up gallery space when I exhibit them. I now need to find some suitable
netting to make them from – the pattern suggests tulle, netting, Illusion or
Point d’Esprit. I have no idea what the last two look like so as bit of
research in a fabric shop is obviously needed next!
