Does she really have to have a face veil? If the neckline is so important and ornate then a face veil would be a distraction. A simple head wreath sounds more appropriate. Maybe telling her that the face veil has pagan origins might dissuade her from a veil (kinding). I wish you luck in finding your hemmer.
We have found a veil that she likes and that is not too expensive, thank goodness. The husband-to-be wants the traditional veil, so as she says, she will do it for him - it is not her choice! (or mine!)

-----Original Message----- Thanks but authentic is not the thing - this is a Victorian *based* dress, from a fashion plate, but the accessories, shoes, bridesmaids, and now veil are not, or do not need to be authentic. There is so much around the neckline, like flowers and lace etc. and she doesn't want them covered. It is only the token thing of arriving at the altar with her face covered. Lace here comes in 120" widths, so is far too wide to use unhemmed, which is why I am not suggesting making it myself.
