1940s 1950s vintage style IVORY wedding headpiece with birdcage veil perfect to suit a beautiful tea length wedding dress. Dress: Delphine Manivet, Paris A gorgeous, shaped and wired, teardrop shape, bride headpiece with birdcage veil that can work for many vintage styles. I mention a tea length 50s wedding dress but this headpiece can also be wonderful for a 1930s inspired Bride or a 1940s girl. To create this headpiece I use a sinamay teardrop fascinator base (size 9cmx18cm) and I sew on it all the satin flowers covering all the fascinator base. All the flowers are handcrafted from satin using millinery techniques. The craft work for making each flower consists in cutting petals from satin fabric, shape each petal with heat and strategically assemble together all the petals to create a flower. The birdcage veil is a beautiful alternative to a traditional veil, perfect for a vintage style bride and completes this headpiece. It's attached to the headpiece and reaches the tip of the nose, framing the eyes and the cheekbones in a flattering way. Remember to use bobby pins for a better fit around the face. In order to make this headpiece easy to wear and to make sure that it stays in place during all the event I use thin hat elastic. That will add totally freedom when it comes to choose your hairstyle and will also help to shape the headpiece to your head. The elastic should be hidden under your hairstyle where possible, sit behind your ears, and around the back of your head. I manly use black elastic so that it will match the roots of your hair but if you prefer other color that fits better just send me a message. The model in picture is wearing the headpiece in her righthand side but you can select at checkout which side you prefer to wear the headpiece so that I can craft it according. I've designed this headpiece to be worn as it is shown by the model. The shapes are created to be seen in a certain perspective. Using them in a different way might cause a different and less pleasant effect. This headpiece is made to order in approximately 1-2 weeks. Customizations are available on color. Colors can vary from different screens. If you are finding it difficult to choose the color for your headpiece I can send satin fabric samples to your address. It will make your decision easier especially if you need to match a wedding dress. If you need a rush order, please contact me before purchasing and I'll help if I can. REFUNDS If you are not happy with your headpiece you can contact me within 7 days you receive it and I will issue a refund. www.filipacardoso.com
