Re: Cathedrial Veil question

I too am getting cathedral and it will be longer than my gown. I think that looks best. You may want to go with chapel depending on the length of you train and your height.

taralissa, I am tall too (5'8') and wanted to get fingertip to leave on all day. But fingertip seemed too long so I am having it made to my wrist instead. You may want to look at the lengths esp. if you are ordering online. I had to order extra length just to get it to my reach my wrist! With cathedral, I didn't have to worry about extra length because of my height. I got the standard which is about 96 inches (if I remember correctly)..my train isn't too long so I should be ok. Just some more ideas.

So should you be tall to have cathedrial?

I am only 5'3 - do you think there would be too much going on? I am also not a skinny minny, and the dress has sheer sleeves - help!
