| Wrinkles: Before a veil ships it is inspected, the edges pressed flat, and the wrinkles steamed out, all to ensure that the veil is in perfect condition. However, it must be placed in a plastic sleeve for protection and folded carefully to fit into a box, both of which cause wrinkles. Don't be discouraged! The veil can easily be returned to it's naturally beautiful look with a few easy steps: |
| Remove the veil from the plastic bag and hang it from the CENTER of the comb (teeth pointing up toward the ceiling). We recommend a hanger type hook with a clip on one end. Over time most of the wrinkles will fall out on their own. Remember to always hang the veil from the center of the comb--it it hangs to the side it will appear uneven when placed on the head. The problem can be corrected with steaming but it is best to avoid it and save yourself the trouble! |
1) Hang the veil in the bathroom with a hot steamy shower running. The steaming will help to ease out any wrinkles.
|
2) The easiest method is to take the veil to a reputable dry cleaner and ask them to steam it for you--it usually only takes a few seconds to complete.
|
| 3) DO NOT use an iron on your veil! We use one in our workroom to press the veils, but our irons are closely regulated--and we sill make mistakes! You don't want to "learn" the art of pressing on your one and only veil--they melt very quickly if the iron is too hot. |
| 4) If the veil has rhinestones, crystals, pearls, or other accents applied, be sure to let the veil cool completely before moving or shaking it after it has been steamed. |
