I intended to wear a birdcage veil on my wedding day, but did not want to miss out on photos of my husband and me under a long veil. This veil was perfect and if I had wanted a long veil there is no doubt I would be using this one. It is extremely soft, has a little give and take to the fabric and wrinkles disappear after hanging overnight. The comb is extremely strong (something I had an issue with for my birdcage), and has a double layer if you would like to have a front and a back, or pull left and right to widen the back. Extremely happy with this purchase.
