There are some typical ways to call veil length. Elbo lengtht (30″ long), Fingertip length (36″ long), Cathedral Lenght (floor length), Waist and Chapel.
- Measure yourself to get an idea of what length you need.
Keep in mind that if you are wearing it toward the back of your head, the veil will be longer and if you are shorter, the elbow length veil may becomes a fingertip veil for you.
- Always consider the detailing of your dress.
The veil should accentuate and be proportional to the dress, not take away from its details. Your veil length should be cut just above or below any focal point on your dress. For example, don’t choose a veil that ends right where your bodice begins. This will visually cut you in half. If you have a sharply defined waistline, don’t choose a veil that ends right at the waistline.
- Cathedral Length (floor length):
A cathedral length veil should only be worn with a chapel or cathedral length gown. Keep in mind that chapel and cathedral length veils can be difficult to maneuver and a fingertip length veil will look just as lovely with a chapel or cathedral length gown.
