    Heavy weight Satin veil, maybe you want use as cover up/shawl
  

*by H***8 on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2019*

Nice quality veil, made in Egypt, veil is same as shown. Usually Milaya leff veil is Polyester chiffon, but this is polyester Satin that I didn't read description well before purchase.It's kind a heavy weight, but I guess good to use outdoor performance. Maybe some dancers wants use this as cover up or shawl.
