Making a Beautiful Cathedral-Length Wedding Veil

Hello everyone! In today's video, I was tasked with making a beautiful wedding veil. It's very long and this is called a cathedral-length. The results were absolutely wonderful! My client loved it. I hope you can all take some inspiration from this video because it is totally feasible to make a wedding veil! This one took some time just because it's large but for shorter/smaller wedding vails, it doesn't take too much time!!

I made my daughter's veil. I hand sewed the lace along the edge. Took me 2 days and my entire kitchen island to lay it out flat and shape the lace to the tulle. We ordered out for dinner the one night so that no one would disturb my project. LOL.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Awe! This is so nice! I bet you and your daughter were so proud! Lovely 💕💕💕

[@Bishwheremawafflefries]

Do you have any tips for sewing the lace, im having difficulties shaping it

[@remij9592]

Can you do a video on different types of tulle that is used for making veils? All I see on the internet are English net, silk etc but I noticed a bunch of different types of tulle at shops. They all tell me it’s tulle but don’t tell me the difference between the materials so I don’t know what fabric to buy 🙁

[@littlecravings]

I want to get married again for a veil like that!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Haha!!!! I love it!

[@xdonnamonsterx]

how much lace did you have to buy for the veil? was it 7 meters too?

[@DowntownTailoring]

I don't recall, but you'll need around 5 meters to cover the bottom and going a little bit to the sides. Minimum 3 meters. I hope this helps ❤

[@ShaniceRSmith]

I love this can you share the link to where you purchased your Tulle and appliqués ? I want to try to make this train. Thank you I really appreciate it.

[@abigailnyarkoa3568]

This is so fast ... can you slow down with the cutting of the round end?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! We will make another video addressing this step!

[@maria-luisacastorena328]

Great tutorial !!!!

[@diansimaremare9257]

I am looking for some guides to make my own veil and your video helps me alot. thank you.

[@nyowehholman-whitfield3275]

Omg, this is beautiful! How many inches is the veil?!!

[@evelynferrer1322]

[@DowntownTailoring]

My daughter. Sometimes she helps me with the voice over 🙂

[@mtvevo2542]

as a beginner that worked with a thinnnnnn thinnnn and strechy fabric, she truly is legendary for this

[@lumorales2321]

Dear Ms. Downtown- I want to thank you for this great tutorial. You cannot know how much it helped me to make my daughter's wedding veil. I haven't made a gown in years, and this really refreshed my memory. Improved my sewing skills. The finishing just made the veil look so lovely. Now on to applying horsehair, lace, and beading. I pray I get it right. So thankful for people who share their talents. Blessings.

[@DowntownTailoring]

You are so welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful. Congratulations to your daughter ☺️☺️☺️

[@MamiDeee]

Was this just regular tulle? Wondering if it needs to be a certain tulle? Thank you!

I have made a few cathedral veils with lace and have hand sewn them. I never tried to use a sewing machine, interesting idea.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Making it by hand is a great way to do it! I like to do it by hand too!

[@YoLucyl]

Can you gather the comb bit without a sewing machine? Like just use the hand sewn method???

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes you can do everything in this video by hand! :)

[@YoLucyl]

@@DowntownTailoring Okay thank you. I’m going to try that.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Good luck!

Hi. Do you not add the trim right up to the top of the veil? If not how far down do you start to add the trim.

[@ricardoquintero21]

What was the Width of the vail?

[@ShaniceRSmith]

Also what’s the width of this tulle?

[@dianathakurmillinery9757]

Love this video!! Question. On the lace you added you didnt go up to the veil, what's best ength to end the length? 3/4s, 1/4 ?? Also, can I make veils with 45 or 54 inch width?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hi. If you use a narrow tulle, the veil might not look great. Cheers 😊

[@dianathakurmillinery9757]

54 inch works really well with fingertip shoulder and blusher veils, for longer fuller floor length, cathedral veils 108 inch is perfect.

[@dianathakurmillinery9757]

Great video!! I like to hand sew.

I don't understand how you use rectangles to round out the bottom, can you show in a diagram or something? Also, I have never used a gathering foot, I didn't know that you could gather over the gather, over and over.........very cool

The lace you used is exactly what I bought for my wedding dress! I got it direct from the factory in China.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Oh! How nice! I'd like to know how you contacted directly the fabric. This lace is so exquisite! ❤

[@carmelnieva7341]

@@DowntownTailoring Sure! I found them on Alibaba. When we first talked they gave me a file containing a lot of classic designs. I made a shorlist and from that shortlist this is the lace that I finally decided to buy. I will give the WeChat account of their Manager so you can talk to them, but I will ask her permission first before putting it here. They have minimum order requirement though, which is 15yards. But that is fine. I saved a lot of money compared if I bought it in our country.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! Of course! That's why I would be interested. I buy expensive laces here. Thanks so much. My contact email is in the description of the most recent videos. 😊
