Advice on veils - Page 2

I was in a four yard veil workshop with Shoshanna. I seem to recall it being longer than the standard 2 hours, but I could be wrong. In any event, I simply packed my arms into the trunk of the car along with my veils for the ride home as they (my arms) had fallen off sometime well before the end of the class!

I just cope with a 3m veil...what a workout!! The one I made is polyester chiffon, and I weighted the ends down with trim which helps it flow more easily.

That's the "standard" rule, and should only be used as a starting point and guideline.

Choosing A Veil

Thank you very much, Zorba, your link was very helpful!

Now I have a different problem: I've spent ALL my "lunch money" for work on veil material, so now I'll have to brown-bag it for the next two weeks...

*sigh* oh well, it was worth it!!!
