The bridal illusion fabric that we use for all of our veils is a type of tulle that was created specifically for bridal veils. It is naturally less stiff than the cheaper tulle fabric and doesn't tend to stick to the gown when worn--it allows the veil to flow gracefully against the gown. However, the fabric itself does have a small amount of sizing, and the amount can vary greatly from bolt to bolt of fabric. If the veil feels a little too stiff for your liking, try steaming--hanging it in the bathroom with a hot steamy shower running works really well if you don't have a hand held steamer. The moisture provided helps to remove the sizing and makes the veil feel even softer.
