Hat Sizing
To find your head size, measure around the fullest part of your head, above your eyebrows (in the same place you would wear your hat). The size in inches is your hat size. Average for a woman is 22 1/2".
- Extra Small fits 21" to 21 1/2"
- Small fits 21 1/2" to 22"
- Medium fits 22" to 22 1/2"
- Large fits 22 1/2" to 23"
- Extra Large fits 23" to 23 1/2"
If you fall between sizes, choose the larger of the two. Upon request, we can provide you with foam tape that can be placed inside the hat to reduce the size. We may be able to make hats smaller than 21" or larger than 23 1/2" upon request, depending on the style desired. Please contact us to discuss your special sizing needs. For more information about hats, fabrics, colors and care instructions, please see the Hat Facts page on this website.

Veil Lengths
In choosing the length of your veil, you should consider the season, time and formality of your wedding as well as the style of your gown. The length is measured from the headpiece to the veil's bottom edge.
We offer veils in many different lengths and with various options. You may pick single or multiple tiers and may choose to add a Veil Edge for added decoration. For information on these and other options, please see the Veil Facts page on this website.
- Elbow Length is 35" and is often used for a formal daytime wedding or with a shorter or informal dress.
- Fingertip Length is 42" and is the most commonly used of the veil lengths due to its great versatility and easy mobility. It is worn with a long gown and used for both formal and semi-formal weddings.
- Walking length is 52" and is also known as waltz length. It is used for both formal and semi-formal weddings. It offers easier mobility than the longer lengths while remaining long and fluid.
- Chapel Length is 88" and will extend to the floor or several inches on the floor (depending on the bride's height) and is used for both formal and semi-formal weddings. This length is used with gowns that have cathedral or chapel length trains.
- Cathedral Length is 106" and will extend at least 12 inches behind the train. It is used for very formal weddings with gowns that have cathedral length trains.
With your order, please specify the length of the veil you desire. If no length is specified in your order, you will receive a two-tiered veil of elbow length. For more information about veils, fabrics, colors, decoration options and care instructions, please see the Veil Facts page on this website.
