  Not sure about a veil, but at my dress fittings they told me they will sew bra cups into the dress so you don't have to wear an actual bra

  That is a gorgeous dress. I agree bra cups sewn in would the best. A fingertip veil would work as would a full length cathedral veil as long as it doesn't have a lot of embellishment on it - maybe just lace along the edge.

  Gorgeous gown!

  I'd personally go with a cathedral-length veil to complement that awesome train. Maybe with matching lace trim if the designer makes it?

  Also, for my dress, I had a nonexistent back, but needed more support than just added cups (according to the people who were profiting off of me), so I bought a bustier that worked with the front, and my seamstress cut the sides and back off of that, then sewed it into my gown. Good luck!

  Such a beautiful dress! (Looks a bit like my own :P) so I'll just say what my attendant suggested. With the undergarments she recommended sewing cups directly onto the dress when you get it altered, and for the veil she suggested a very simple style that won't compete with the detailing of the dress. I think chapel length (A few inches past the skirt) or shorter would work perfectly, but you should test out different lengths if you can.

  Given the back - sewn in cups are really your only option which already may be part of the dress' construction.  Or, they have a "tape" style that you essentially tape to your body to hold things in place.  Not ideal though..

  As for veil - a lot really depends on the type of style you're going for in terms of personal taste/preference.  A fascinator or hair band (similar to the waistband) with a simple round cut of tulle (attach a couple bobby pins with fish line to hold it on) is more than enough - because you don't want to overdo it.  That's also about $5 in materials tops...

  You might also have some luck with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Converter-Extender-Backless-Clothing/dp/B01DC8YY6C/ref=sr_1_16?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1467476907&sr=1-16&nodeID=14333511&keywords=backless+bra
  
  or I'm using something like this for my backless dress:

  I can't help you with veil selections, I'm struggling with that myself.
