    At a bridal shop this weekend, they had me try on what they called a hot new trend, a tulle bolero jacket that extended to cathedral length and was meant to be used in place of a veil.

    I tried googling it to see if I could find actual pictures of brides wearing one, but I came up empty. Has anyone worn one of these or seen them anywhere? I'd love to see pics.

    thx!

    never seen it.  it might be hot on the high fashion runway or something.  It sounds kind of weird to me.

    yeah i don't think that sounds too haute to me... but it would be quite avante garde, if you're very fashion forward that could work.

    do you mean that it extends in to a train? I have never seen one (if we thinking of the same thing...) but I really want one!

    Ok, I really wanted to wear one of these, but they don't go with my already busy dress.  I like them so much that I almost wish I got a plain dress so I could wear one! I love how different they are.  This one is all gold/cream shell-like sleeves with a full cathedral length "veil" back.   Enzoani Bridal puts it out and they have a few others.  It's not for everyone, but I think it's great!

    Huh. I don't really know what to think.  It's like a surprise when she turns around.

    I tried the other one on, not this one.  For some reason, I think they'd be especially gorgeous for a winter wedding.

    Personally I think it looks a bit ridiculous, but to each their own.

    I think it looks pretty cool. It wouldn't work for the look I'm going for, but it would be a great alternative for someone else.

    I thought it would look funny but it doesn't.

    Yes! That must be it. The salon carries Enzoani and I saw the shell beaded one, but I tried one on with crystals & beading. It was definitely unusual, but as a bolero it was cute.

    It was slightly too much business in the front & party in the back though...

    It's gorgeous!  I kinda want to untie the back thingy tho, that looks like someone did it just to get it out of the way.

    I'm going to go make one now :)

    It sure isn't weird or a modern invention as it was actually used during the Edwardian time!

    I had never seen these before and I was picturing some kind of hood veil thing that had sleeves--not pretty!  I actually think the real jacket veils are gorgeous!

    I love this idea. I think I am going to try to make one. It will be a while before I have time, with all the other DIY stuff I have to do, but I will post a picture, when I get to that point.
