Customer Reviews

Thanks to this book, I can truly say "I Do" Veils"!

I've had this book for quite a while now, and used it to make beautiful veils for two nieces and three of my daughter's friends. Since it first came out when headpieces and veils were more elaborate than they are today, you can find the directions for just about any headpiece and trimming there is. The illustrations and directions are very clear, and you can always simplify the ideas to make the plainer veils that brides like now. By the way, the last one I made cost just $18.00 to make, so the bride saved over $100.00!

Great for beginners & more experienced

Excellent instructions on making a variety of veils. Whether you're an experienced sewer or a newbie, you'll be able to follow this book & save a bundle o' money.

Your Bridal Headpiece

I purchased this book in it's present form in 1997 .This book will show you the basics of how to make several kinds of headpieces. It also tells you what tools and suppplies you will need, and also has a supplier list. I''m hoping to build a business based on applying the information in this book. If you have even a casual interest in making a headpiece or viel, this is well worth the money. Also, I believe the principles could be used to construct different kinds of headpieces, such as a crown for a beauty pageant.

Saves a small fortune

A bridal shop owner told me that my headpiece/veil creation would have cost $400 retail...I spent about $40 using the book's excellent instructions. I would have rated it 5 stars if there had been an ideas section for finished headpieces and veils.

Great attention to detail for creating veils and headpieces

This book is wonderful! In the beginning, a long materials list describes all of the materials with some drawings. Then the good parts: the book details step by step how to create a bunch of veils and all types of headpieces! All the pictures in the book are drawings and it works out great! I recommend it to anyone not wanting to pay the ridiculous prices (I actually saw a veil for $650.00!!) for a store bought veil that is easy to make with the book. PS- Once you know the type of veil you want to make, go back to the veil store and see how they made it- it will help tremendously!! Enjoy!!
