Veil Length Guide

Deciding what veil length is one of the most major veil designs you will make!

The decision is completely up to you, but this guide is here to guide you in the right direction based on personal preferences and dress styles.

Where you veil lands on your body/floor depends on your height as well as where the veil is placed on your head.

Dress Style Length Recomendations

A-Line
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Fingertip
- Floor
- Chapel
- Cathedral
A-line dresses offer great versatility when it comes to veil lengths. If you opt for a floor-length veil, ensure that its length extends beyond the edge of your train.
Ball Gown
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Chapel
- Cathedral
For ball gown dresses, it is generally recommended to choose veils that hit above your waistline or go for the grandeur of a full cathedral-length veil.
If your ballgown has a wide, full train, it is best to also choose a wide veil with to match the same drama energy.
Mermaid, Fit and Flare, Trumpet, etc.
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Fingertip
- Knee
- Waltz
- Floor
- Chapel
- Cathedral
Veil lengths of all kinds generally compliment these dress styles.

Just below the knee. Longer than fingertip, but short enough to dance freely without tripping.

When do I consider a wide width veil?

Full ball gowns or A-line dresses with medium-to-long trains benefit from a wider veil. This helps the veil drape evenly over the skirt and train, creating a soft, flowing silhouette without looking narrow or “skimpy.”

Slim or sheath gowns can often get away with a narrower width, unless you want a dramatic halo effect.

Wide veils add more visual weight, making the veil feel grand and sweeping, especially in photos.
