If you make more of a full-head veil you may need to steam it to get the netting to get it to keep the shape, I have seen a diagram where you use fabric or newspaper stuffed into the veil to hold the shape and the steam setting of an iron used to steam. It really wasn't that difficult, I just had to have my husband help me decide what height and shape looked best and the rest was a few stitches! as far as tips… buy more netting than you think you need and pin the netting with bobbypins until you get the shape right on your head.
