Ivory, square tulle wedding veil with a machine-sewn hem on all four sides with mitred corners. The veil is sewn onto a circular wire band which has been preciously bound in narrow, white satin ribbon. This ribbon extends beyond the wire to tie at the back of the head in a bow. There is a narrow double layer of tulle between the veil's two layers, possibly to add support and a little height, and to form a frill when the veil is over the face. The veil is attached to the 'crown' of wire in an off-centre position, so that one corner - at the front - is shorter than the others when worn over the face, or down the back. DIMENSIONS: L: 1350mm
