I'm looking for a lace veil that I could use for the closing window this sunday. I'm looking for something that would mimic this portrait:

I"ve tried purchase likely vintage peices the past two weeks on eBay but all the auctions went to high for me :(

Re: Lace veil
Wed, December 17, 2008 - 2:57 PMYou could always go pick up some sheer silk organdy and put a scarf hem in it. Britex may even have one with a swirl to it (Haven't been in there in a while.) About a yard of it with the corners rounded and the edge hemmed would give that effect, if it is the floaty instead of the crisp kind.

Fri, December 19, 2008 - 2:04 PMI have the suspicion that Laurie ... er ... the APQ will make a most beautiful and refined image in the window, Mr. Have-a-Go Lammle. Nothing so shameless and Dionysian as those tableaux at the V&A! Just like your sort to make something Prurient out of a lovely wedding portrait, eh?
God Save the Queen!

Fri, December 19, 2008 - 4:19 PMWell I'm going to make do with a silk sheer with crewel worked flowers for the window as I don't have a fortune to get the real deal and I didn't find any suitable stand-ins locally.
