First Holy Communion Veils
Below are examples of some first communion veils. I have now sourced three cheaper laces specifically to make First Communion mantillas- I can also use the bespoke bridal laces and have shown samples of all the Mantilla Veils below. All the veils can have the same edges as the bridal veils.

The Mantilla Veils
A comb is fitted as standard - please let me know if you do not want one.
Above are the three laces which are laces I have sourced especially for First Communion Mantillas.
The top one is the Vicoria lace - a corded lace which has a little cross in it.
The two on either side are a guipure like lace.- The left one being the scalloped lace and the one on the right is the leaf edge lace.
See below for the veil being modelled.

The "Victoria" lace- A Corded Lace with cross worked into it.
This example is a 36" length.

The Scalloped Edge lace.
The above example is a 24". It is called the scalloped edge lace
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Leaf Edge Lace
The above example is a 24" this is called the flower edged lace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These laces shown below are the same laces as the bridal mantillas.
You can see examples of these veils also on the Mantilla bridal veil page. They are more expensive laces- so prices are as per the bridal mantilla list on the prices page.
The New Ava - a corded flower lace Veil

Cecilia Grace- USA- May 2012 wearing 24" mantilla
The example below is actually a Bridal veil which is also featured on the mantilla veil page-
This veil is a 36" wide cut- medium lace veil -- single layerd and gatherd onto the comb with the lace sewn along the top of the gathers on the comb- along the top of the head.
This has a different price than the mantillas as there is far more tulle in this veil and alot more work involved- please contact me for prices.

A Tulle Wrap
Above is a plain cut edge tulle wrap. It is surprisingly warm!!!! This example is 1 and half mts long- but it can be made to measure. Contact me for further information.
