VEIL MEASURING GUIDE
A simple guide to help you measure accurately for your bespoke veil.
1. Choose your veil placement
Decide where your veil will sit – at the crown, back of the head, or beneath a bun.
2. Measure your length
Using a soft tape measure, start at your chosen point and measure down your back to where you would like the veil to finish.
3. Note your measurement
Record your length in centimetres. For a softer drape, you may wish to add 2–5 cm.
