"I Do" Veils, So Can You!

Book excerpt: FIBER CRAFTS Certainly if information on medieval European costume is sparse, there is even less on bridal millinery. Despite the cutesy title, this is a well-organized, practical manual that anyone making bridal headpieces will want to have at hand. Lynch makes extensive use of line drawings (more than 500) to guide the reader through every step in constructing veils, tiaras, wreaths, crowns, hats, headbands, Juliet Caps, and other bridal finery. An annotated wholesale and retail resource guide and information on care and preservation of the finished headpiece add greatly to the value of the book. Both public libraries and costume collections will want this work.-
