Description
White Bridal veil with head piece. The veil is tulle and is meant to extend behind the head/down the back when worn only; it does not cover the face when worn. The Tulle is sewn to the back of the head piece. The head piece consists of a metal frame, with cloth sewn around the metal/wires that individually make up the frame. Cloth is then sewn over the entire frame, some of this is a mesh/tulle netting with embroidery patterns matching those of the wedding dress (2006.060.001) with which it was worn. The back of the head piece (right above where the tulle is attached) has a triple bow sewn onto it. Each part of the bow (there is no tail to it) has a patch of the tulle/mesh embroidery on it as well. Part of the bow is in disrepair with the embroidery only partially attached. Otherwise the rest of the headpiece/veil is in good condition.
