Hello!
I looking at getting a veil, and I know I want a mantilla style veil that I will be wearing as a drop veil, meaning there will be a foot or two of fabric covering my face. I am 5'3, and will want the veil to trail a few inches past my dress's train, which is about 3-4 feet long. It's a Pronovias Mito ballgown, and the back is pretty intense. Really long and full with a ton of pickups.
If I get a cathedral length veil, will it end up being a chapel length since the 1-2 feet is in front of me? I just don't want to buy a veil and find out it is too long or too short. I have looked everywhere in my area, and no one seems to carry these kind, so I have to order online. Am I adding right? 24 inches in front + 63 in tall + 48 in in back = big. Like 135in = almost 4 yards. Isn't that cathedral size? I just think about Princess Di and am afraid it will be too long... Help anyone?
