This lace mantilla is an elbow length veil. The lace edge is done with a Venice lace the customer sent to us. This mantilla is a 36″ circle of ivory bridal illusion and it lets the back of the dress show through. A 3″ clear plastic comb is hidden under the lace. We offer lace veils like this where the bride finds the lace herself or we stock some lace you can choose from. When shopping for lace look for designs that are scalloped on both sides, this allows it to smoothly curve around the edge of the veil. Venice lace works great!
