Step 1: Wedding Watteau Length
How to find Your Specific Length:
1 - Find a friend to help you, a full length mirror is helpful too
2 - Wear the same shoes (or same height) as your wedding day. If possible try on your gown
3 - Place a long string on your back where you plan to wear your cape
4 - Run the string down your back and out straight behind you
5 - Mark where you want it to end
6 - Measure the string

Some Cathedral Watteau lengths to try:
84 inches - may be beyond floor length for most brides
70 inches
Note: If you want your veil to end right at the floor it's important to measure.
If you need it longer than 84 inches or less than 60 inches convo me because the price is different, we do make all lengths.

Step 2: Bridal Cape Fabric
This item is for a chiffon cape in your choice of silk chiffon or polyester chiffon. Convo me for other fabrics like bridal illusion, organza and English net. Most veils are made of bridal illusion.

Chiffon is a woven fabric that is smooth and opaque (it's not very transparent). Chiffon is heavier than bridal illusion so it flows straight down without the poof of bridal illusion.

Silk chiffon is very soft and a bit lighter weight than polyester chiffon. The silk chiffon only comes as wide as 42 inches. Do not get silk chiffon wet because it changes the fabric permanently.

Polyester chiffon is very smooth and a little heavier than silk chiffon, a little more opaque too. Polyester chiffon comes as wide as 58". The polyester chiffon can get wet. Also if you need a really white color veil, polyester chiffon comes in a true white (silk does not get as white).

Order an embellishment from our "Veil Embellishments" section [it's still has some growing to do, so convo for me if you don't see what you want].

Embellishments can be scattered throughout the veil or staggered along the edge.
