NEW FAN VEILS! LOTS OF PHOTOS/INFORMATION














There has been much excitement abuzz in the dance airwaves with our Fairy Cove Fan Veils!






We imported our own .... and are dyeing our sizzling colorstyles in all the ways you love.
Shown here is bright TROPICAL SUNSET with the top of the pattern at center running in a double vertical orientation. The mandarin at the outsides makes a beautiful flash of movement!

I think the most amazing thing is how they move!








This is ROYAL FANTASY, shown as the colorstyle will arrive to you as our stocked design style... running the length of the fan in a VERTICAL orientation. Note that the back piece on here looks a little more separate than our more newly finished fans.









































This is DRAGON DREAMS in a one of a kind style, that has meadow closest to the hand. It has its deepest forest green starting 1/3 the way down the silk on the outsides so the pattern is dyed somewhat symmetrically from the inside to the out. This leaves Meadow heavy on the interior of the fan also.
































When Ordering one of our colorstyles, keep in mind that the full coverage 'back piece' will standardly come with the 'top' of the pattern matching our photos.




























Gauze, Chiffon and other fabric weaves can be made to make fan veils!

Currently the silk we are applying on these is a 5mm habotai, which we imported expressly for the fan veils. It is slightly floatier than our current 5mm habotai (you may likely be familiar with) we stock our standard ultralight veils on. It is generally being offered on a 60 inch veil. We also have 36x72 inch as a stocked item available if you prefer longer, these could be made into fan veils.

Silk Fan Veils have been laborious to create processes that will result in reliable assembly to create the highest quality, most durable accessory. Please order knowing that these are assembled in batches, requiring multiple days for the process and are on a limited basis.

Consider accessorizing any of your Fairy Cove Costume to Match or Coordinate, as our colorstyles are reliable to order. For perfect best matching, consider ordering together!
SILK FLOWERS are coming soon, too.....
