Hmm, a message I might be able to help with.  All the Pictures that I have
looked at over the years tends toward oval and round veils.  These tend to
drape nicely.   Mind you, different places and years had different looks,
but if you are just going for the basic medieval look, this should be fine
:)

Good luck :)

| I know there are quite a few out there who indulge in historic
| recontructions. I am taking part part in a medieval street fair soon and
| while costumes have to just look 'medieval' I like to be fairly accurate!
| I've altered a dress which looks OK according to my historical costume
| reference book but I need a headress. I've bought some voile and intend
| making a band to hold this on my head. My question is how do I cut the
veil?
| Should I have a square, rectangle or circle? It won't be too large but I
| can't face making up one of the headresses in vogue at the time the dress
| matches too! Wearing specs does not improve things but I'll fall over
things
| otherwise!
| All help gratefully received!
