Veils   size guide

You might find it very confusing when looking at the lengths of veils: fingertip length, knee-length, cathedral, and royal. Even with the same names, the lengths can vary from different sources. Apparently, there are no universal standards for veil lengths. It's best to measure the length you need, and if the listed item is not what you are after, request a custom size to fit your height for the best result.

Tips:

Ideally, your veil should be slightly longer than your train (if you are going for a long veil), with an extra 10-12 inches providing a snug surround for your dress.

However, there are no strict rules—feel free to choose a veil much longer than your dress if you prefer. We love the dramatic effect of a long statement veil.

We can make a veil in any length

Removable trains and overskirts   size guide

What length for a blusher?

What width should I choose?

Veil width: 

We recommend selecting the standard width of 1,5m/59 inches for short veils, such as floor length or shorter.

This width veil matches most dresses and works well even for wide-train dresses.

However, we suggest the veil be the same width or slightly wider than the train on the dress. 

We can make a veil in any width
between 1 m/39" to 3 m/118".

       1.5m/59" standard width

     3m/118"
wide width
