Hi all!
I am so thrilled to be wearing my mother's cathedral veil at my wedding next fall! She wore it as she walked down the aisle to marry my father almost 40 years ago. It has ENORMOUS sentimental value, as she passed away at the young age of 33 (25 years ago), after losing her 3 year battle to breast cancer.
Having never been preserved (and played with by her children decades ago), it's in reasonably great shape. Unfortanately, there are a few holes in it. A couple pretty small (dime size) but one is fairly signficant (tangerine size, perhaps). I would like to keep as much of the integrity of the veil as humanly possible - length and width - due to the sentimental value, and therefore am looking for an experienced veil restorer to help me fulfill this wish. It does not have to look perfect but a little mending would go a long way.
I live in central Maine but would be willing to travel as far as NH or Boston if there was someone quite phenomenal that could help me. Any suggestions??
So excited to hear back from anyone with input or fingers pointed in the right direction!
