LaPetiteSoeur Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am hoping to get a mantilla before I go overseas this summer, just in case I end up going to a church where I need one. Where do you all suggest I find one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If you want a basic one I make them. Any size/shape and most common colors. PM me if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 there is an older gentleman at my parish who passes out mantillas to all the women free of charge. they are very beautiful. he handed one to me and asked me to always wear it, no matter what. I wanted to give him a donation, but he would not accept any money from anyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 You don't need to go overseas to wear a mantilla. Wear one every time you go to church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 A friend has a veil business, www.veilsandmantillas.com - I just ordered one from her, in fact. Her prices are the best I have found for the quality of the veil. Also www.garlandsofgrace.com has some unique head coverings too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 One time my Lutheran grandparents were on a tour of Europe to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, and they stopped at some gorgeous church. My grandmother was one of the few ladies that brought a headscarf with her, and thus could go in the church, because the tour guide forgot to inform them that they might need a mantilla-like garment. The funny part was that most of the ladies that didn't bring one were Catholic. <-- continues to have nothing substantial to add to help out the OP, but likes following links to pretty mantillas.

Spem in alium Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I'm *hoping* to make my own mantilla Etsy, veilsbylily and RosaMystica Mantillas all have pretty, relatively affordable things. By all means, check out Garlands of Grace, but just as a note of intormation: in the past they've publicly professed anti-Catholicism. I was considering them myself, but was turned away when I discovered what they had said about Catholics. Quite unfortunate, really, as a lot of their stuff is lovely. Just be discerning Edited April 30, 2012 by Spem in alium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 My wife went to [url="http://www.veilsbylily.com/"]http://www.veilsbylily.com/[/url] Her first order was one from aquinas and more.com which resells St. Francis veils (or something close to that). They did not sent what she ordered and it was not as soft as the Veils by Lily. She does not recommend that brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my black one for nearly a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
