This is the best tutorial! I'm using this cape method for my veil to clip in my hair instead. But after watching this I feel so much more confident 😌 🖤
Thank you so much for this! I'm making it out of a soft black glitter tulle and putting a twinkling LED string light curtain beneath it, so I can live my full midnight sky disco sith fantasy! 😃
Thank you for posting this! I need to rework an old store-bought gown for a gala, and I was overthinking my vision for a cape. This was super helpful. Now I have to source a nice quality of tulle. Thanks again!
Thank you for this great tutorial. I need to make a costume without heaps of time to spare, I'm not much of a sewer but I feel like I can totally do this! 💜
Super BRILLIANT. Super easy to wear also. Wow them during theh ceremony then remove after you photographs for a fuss free gown for the reception. Teamed with a short head veil for brides wanting the traditional look. Simply love this.
This cape veil is quick, easy and cheap to make. Perfect if you're in a rush or on a budget. Change up the length and colour to suit your style. I kept this one simple, but you could add embellishments to the gathered parts or around the edge.
This video is so helpful. I’m trying to figure out how to do this on my spaghetti strap dress and not make the attachment look so bulky. I’m gonna try it tonight! Thanks!!!
I found some tulle that I absolutely love (it's got stars and moons on it) that I really want to turn into a cape veil, but it's only about half as wide as it should be. Is there an easy way to put them together? I found some advice online that says you can do it with hot glue, but I'm hesitant to try it.
You can stitch the lengths of tulle together until they are the width that you want. I'd avoid a hot glue gun - it could melt the tulle and will show through and look awful!
This is super helpful thank. Do you have any recommendations on making the attachments neater to suit skinny straps? I’ve seen some capes online that just use a safety pin but feels like that wouldn’t be sturdy enough? Not sure!
I LOVE this look, I’m going to try to do this for a dress I’ll wear to a formal wedding in June. As I’m just a guest, I don’t want a floor length cape, how much fabric would I need? Is the 2 meters the length to the ground or for the width from one shoulder to the next?
To work out the amount of fabric you'll need measure from where it will attach to the length you want. For extra wide tulle you'll just need one length. For narrower fabric to get this fullness you'll need 2 lengths.
