Black veil

The black veil is a head veil made of fine black tulle that falls in two layers over your head and back, down to about your hips. The top layer is shorter and can be worn over your face, while the longer layer hangs behind your back. The veil is available for women and men and is perfect for Halloween, a gothic party, or a costume party.

Black tulle in two layers

• The veil is completely black and made of sheer tulle, so your face remains faintly visible through it.
• At the top, the fabric is gathered into a band, so the veil forms a ruffled cap on the back of your head.
• The lower edge falls in a gentle wave, with a short front layer and a longer back layer.
• It is a separate headpiece, so you will receive only the veil without a costume or accessories.

Why does a black veil suit a different type of look than a white one?

A white veil belongs to the bride, while a black one reverses that meaning: it represents mourning and the gothic bride or ghost bride that you see often at Halloween. That look relies on contrast, so dark clothing with a pale face and dark lipstick. Black tulle also works for a widow, a nun, a witch, or a Day of the Dead figure, because it partially conceals your face without completely blocking your vision. If you pull the front layer back, the silhouette remains the same, but you can see and speak more easily, which is handy at a busy party.

Building a complete outfit around the black veil

Wear the veil over a black dress or a lace corset for a gothic bride, or over a black cloak as a mourning widow. Red lipstick and dark eyeshadow complete the look, and black lace gloves or a black bouquet of artificial flowers enhance the bridal theme. If you want to go for a witch look, combine the veil with a long black cloak instead of a hat.
