The magic of a silk veil

is within your grasp:

Light enough to float like a dancing cloud, sturdy enough to swirl around you for a dramatic effect. These veils are soft and opaque and made from 6 to 8 mm real habotai silk.

Sizes are 3 meters X 45" and are also available in 3 meter length semi-circle shapes! Each are individually hand dyed from a wide selection of colors; Karima takes great care to make sure there are no two exactly alike.

How to care for your new silk veil:

Step 1: First and foremost, always hang your veil (when not in use) or store neatly in a zip-loc package so it does not suffer wear and tear in your dance bag; Although my veils are very durable, I find most dancer's bags would even give denim a hard time with all the CDs, pieces of jewelry, cymbals, etc.., rumbling around.

Step 2: Next, you will find you do not need to wash your veil very often if you take good care of it. However, they do need it once in a while so it is good to hand wash in very cold temperatures with a little dabble of vinegar (to keep the color). I also like to add a drop of dove dish soap to make it smell pretty and remove any stains. Make sure you rinse out any remaining soap before drying.

Step 3: Depending upon your preference, you can dry your veil on a line with gentle clips (do not leave exposed in direct sun!) or on a low heat settting in your dryer for no more than 10 minutes. I like to get all the wrinkles out so I iron my veil on a medium setting while it is still damp. If your veil is dry, you can also use a spray bottle with water.

Step 4: Enjoy your veil for a long time!
