The veil you try on with your actual dress.
In the right light. On your body. Before you decide.
Most brides buy their veil online and spend the weeks before their wedding wondering if it's right. At Rachel's Custom Sewing, you try yours on during your fitting appointment, with your actual dress, in studio. You'll know immediately.

FAQ
-
Half width veils are lighter and more streamlined -- they sit closer to the body and create an elegant, modern silhouette. Full width veils are the classic, voluminous style with more dramatic drape and movement. If you're unsure, try both at your fitting.
-
Most dresses are ivory (a warm off-white), not bright white - and your veil needs to match. We carry ivory, soft ivory, and white. Check our full colour guide at customsewing.au/veil-colour-guide. When in doubt, bring a fabric swatch to your fitting.
-
Approximately 2-3 weeks from ordering. We recommend ordering at your first or second fitting so your veil arrives well before your wedding day. Express options available.
-
Short blushers work on modern and minimalist gowns. Fingertip and chapel lengths suit most styles. Cathedral veils suit ball gowns or long trains. See real brides in every length at customsewing.au/veil-real-brides.
