    hi bees!

    i'm looking to make my own waist or fingertip length mantilla veil, and i've been looking on etsy for some lace options.  these are two that i like: 

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/89534131/unique-vintage-ivory-cream-circles-dots?ga_search_query=circles&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6611239

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/90628161/1-yard-of-ivory-rayon-leaf-lace-trim?ga_search_query=rayon%2Bleaf&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6299277

    what do you think?  too strange?

    I think they are both fine but very different looks, the first looks very modern to me.  What type of look are you going for?

    I think they would both look great. The second one is much more tradiitonal then the first. What does your dress look like?

    You might look at Mood also, they have a really nice online selection.  I would have to see your dress to comment on either of your two selections, as they are both very different from eachother.

    @MrsMeNow:  this is my dress: http://www.smartbrideboutique.com/shop/item/view/mikaella-1513-size-10-ivory-sweetheart-ball-gown/5590/

    i'm not wearing the ribbon/flower sash though.

    @accorn: i'm not sure what look i'm going for!  i do tend to like modern things... but the leaf pattern is just so pretty.

    I love the leaf pattern lace too, and was going to say that one until I saw your dress. I think the first lace would look awesome with your dress!

    I actually think the first one (the more modern looking one) would look better with that dress!

    @MadameTussaud:  awesome, thanks!  i think i'm gonna buy the first one.

    now i just have to decide what kind of tulle to get.  would dotted tulle be overkill?  http://www.moodfabrics.com/index.php?file=productdetail&iprod_id=24639&icat_id=2&frompa=catlist

    i just love polka dots.  another option would be to just make a simple, one-tier cut-edge veil with the dotted tulle.

    @dotdotdot:  I think the two would be cute together and would look adorable with your dress.  I think you should order a sample of the crinoline material from Mood as sometimes crinoline material can be stiff, better to make sure it is a material you want to use than waste the money on something you don't.
