Generally, it depends on where you're having our wedding. The more formal the venue the longer the veil. The more casual the site, the shorter the veil. In your case though, I think a short veil might not balance well with the longer train. You should go with longer. The model's length is perfect.
The length of the veil should also match the formality of the dress. A dress with a long train needs a longer veil. I think a mantilla with the same lace would be too much (plus the mantilla would have to be shorter, and I'm not sure the style of a mantilla fits that of your dress). I agree that the length (and style) of the one the model is wearing looks perfect.
do you think it's ok for an even longer veil than the one the model is wearing on the watters website?
My train is actually a little longer than that one, and I'm wearing a fingertip-length mantilla.
I agree with chelseamorning -- I think the same style lace might be a little too much. There are lots of mantillas without lace though (mine has crystals and silver embroidery, for example).
My dress was very similar to that one, and I wore a long veil (extending slightly past the end of the train) with lace only around the bottom of the veil. Got lots of compliments on it. :)
I also wore an alencon lace dress with a small train, similar to yours but strapless. I wore a fingertip-length mantilla with lace trim. The lace on the veil matched the dress perfectly -- it wasn't too much. I also got a lot of compliments on it.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
i need veil advice!
this is the dress i'm wearing:
http://watters.com/product.php?weddingid=162&coll=&style=1048b
it has a fairly long train.
at first, i was going to have a mantilla made with the same pattern lace, but now i'm wondering if i should do a shorter veil since the dress already has a train??
