A cathedral wedding veil with pearl beads. The veil is made of synthetic likely nylon tulle. A pouf of tulle is gathered at the top of the veil with multiple faux pearls sewn throughout which vary in size. A clear plastic French comb is sewn to the interior side of the pouf at the top of the veil with clear plastic monofilament thread. Four layers of tulle are sewn to the bottom of the pouf. The top two layers are shorter, ending around knee length. The bottom two layers continue into a long train.
