Dear Lily,
I was so very excited to recieve my veil in the mail. This is my first veil. Once I opened the package I was astounded by the beauty of the veil. It is so incredible! I also love the plastic hair clip attached to the veil as it helps if stay on my head. This is wonderful!God bless you!
I have several styles and sizes of veils (most by Lily!) and this one is by far my favorite. The drape and feel of the lace and trim is amazing.
I purchased this Mantilla for my mother as a present for her reception into the Holy Roman Catholic Church this Easter. I have purchased several veils from Lily in the past. The veil was custom made and took 6 weeks to arrive but was well worth the wait. It is beautifully soft and gives excellent coverage; down to below the shoulder blades. The pattern is lovely and delicate. This Manitlla, I feel, is suitable for High Mass, Low Mass or, indeed, special feasts.
God bless you and thank you, once again.
Beautifully handmade!
This veil was a pleasant surprise. I have purchased an infinity veil which I'm not crazy about- it is a pretty veil but infinity veils are too bulky in the front for my personal taste. This veil is subtly shiny and luxurious without being pretentious. The large is big enough for lots of coverage but looks and feels light and airy. The colour is quite modest.
The main complaint I have with Veils by Lily is that although pictures are shown from different angles it is rare to see a photo of the veil flat with measurements. This veil looks very different from the online photo, it is prettier and more full than expected.
I suggest getting a comb or snap sewn-in with your veil. It is in the right spot, hard to see and does not bunch or pull. If you've ever had a veil slip during mass, that is a distraction nobody wants.
I have been considering this veil for a long time and was delighted to order it. My husband really liked it as well. The neutral color makes it blend well with various clothing colors. The trim is beautiful and adds elegance. This veil can be easily worm in Sunday best clothes or more casual attire. I received it on the 1st Friday of May. We had heard about 1st Friday devotions but never participated. A local parish offered a Latin Sung mass, followed by Eucharist Adoration on this day. So, I wore this veil to our 1st ever 1st Friday mass and adoration. We were surprised at how quickly it was all over and wonder if the veil facilitated special graces and/or simply helped us better focus on the most Sacred Heart. For all the ladies who are concerned about color, this might just be the veil for you. Also, the size ramge allows you to customize it to your preferences. It is soft and drapes nicely. Thanks again for a beautiful veil!
This veil is so soft and beautiful. I ordered the Med. blue and I wish I had an entire wardrobe of that color! Deep, rich and fabulous. Not navy, not cobalt.....more like a deeper cobalt. It's wonderful. I also ordered the small because I have very short hair; but I also love that the sides are still long.
This is my third soft tulle veil I've ordered. It is the softest lace fabric you can find. It drapes beautifully! I wish it came in a few more colors because I would probably buy them, too.
This is the fourth veil I've ordered from Lily and the second soft tulle type. It's become my favorite (not that the others aren't beautiful!). I think it's the way it drapes that makes it just that much nicer.
