Step 1 of 4
Lay the veil over your head so the centre sits at your forehead. Let one side hang a little longer than the other.
Look at the fold,
then the whole outfit.
Some veils have more than one view. Use them together when you’re deciding how you’d like the fabric to sit.
A first drape, in four steps
This is how I’d start. Use a mirror, and go slowly the first time.
Step 1 of 4
Step 2 of 4
Bring the longer side across and let it fall on its own, without pulling. Smooth it once with your palm. Then leave it alone; fabric sits best when you stop fussing.
Step 3 of 4
One pin where the layers meet is usually enough. Keep it low and close so the line along your cheek stays clean.
Step 4 of 4
Rest the long end over one shoulder. A quick look from the side in the mirror shows the fall better than the front does.
See it on
Back view. This one shows the full length of the fall.
Front view. The small details along the edge are easier to see here.
Mustard on white brings a confident warmth.
Navy gives a pale outfit a clean, defined frame.
Let me show you
how it falls.
Colour gives you the first impression. The film shows the quieter part: the weight of the fabric, the first fold, and where it settles at the shoulder.
The styling film is on its way.
Until it’s here, the four steps below cover a first drape.

Colours I’d try against white
These are the pairings I keep coming back to.
What would you like
to ask me?
Which fabric is my veil?
Send me the piece number and I’ll confirm the fabric and finish. I’m happy to tell you how it feels and how it wears.
Is the veil I like available?
I confirm availability by hand, so a photo on the site isn’t a promise yet. Send me the piece number and I’ll check before you plan around a colour.
How do I order?
Keep the veils you like, open My picks, and send them to me on WhatsApp. I’ll reply to confirm availability, the total and delivery. There’s no online payment.
Can I see a veil from another angle?
Some pieces have a front and a back view, like 9773 and 9778 in ivory, or 9853 and 9833 in rose. For any other piece, ask me whether more photos are available.
Will the colour match my screen?
Screens vary, so treat the photos as a close guide. If a shade matters to your outfit, tell me what you’re wearing and we’ll decide together.
How do I care for it?
Ask me for care instructions with your chosen piece. I need to confirm the fabric and finish before I advise you on washing or ironing.
Do you have children’s veils?
The children’s collection is being prepared. Check back soon, or ask me on WhatsApp.
Send me the piece numbers you’re deciding between and a note about what you’ll be wearing. We can start with the colours already in front of us.
