This veiled headband design would be a lovely addition to any bridal or evening wear collection. The veil stands out from the face, falling just below the eyes, for an elegant and very wearable look.

In this tutorial, written by London milliner and millinery tutor Elena Shvab, you will learn how to cut, sew and block a short veil and then attach it to a headband. Using a readymade headband makes this a quick and easy project, but the same style of veil could also be used on a fascinator, handmade halo headband or blocked cocktail hat.

Once you’ve created a basic veiled headband, you can experiment with different veil lengths and trimmings to make your own unique millinery creations. Elena’s Margot Headpiece (above) is a lovely adaptation of the original design.
