What You Will Need

 

The Band
the band (this should be worn parallel to the ground and not at an angle as shown)

1. Firstly, wrap a piece of ribbon round your head and pin it or tie it.

 
The pins I use.

 

The Wimple

2. Holding the corners of the wimple, place one of the long sides under your chin.

 
 
3. Put the corners on the top of your head and pin the overlap.
(Also put pins at the sides where the wimple overlaps the band.)

 

The Veil

4. Place the veil over your head and straighten the front edge.
Put one pin at the centre front.
 
 
5. Put another pin at each side where the veil overlaps the wimple (ensuring the top edge of the veil remains as straight as possible).

 

The Toque

Place the toque on your head so that it sits parallel with the ground and covers as many pins as possible.
