Good to know

What is a birdcage veil?

A birdcage veil is a short piece of wide-weave netting that covers part or all of the face and attaches at the side of the head, usually with a comb or clip. It sits close to the face rather than falling down the back, which is what gives it the 1940s look it is known for.

Does it cover the whole face?

It sweeps diagonally across, so one eye is behind netting and the other is clear. That asymmetry is the point of the style.

Who does it suit?

Short dresses, tea-length dresses, city hall weddings and anything with a vintage lean. It fights a cathedral train, so pick one or the other.

Can I wear it with an updo?

Yes, and it is the easiest way to wear one. The comb tucks into the side of a pinned style and the netting curves forward on its own.
