Yee-haw! Kim's bridal gown is altered and bustled, and her veil is finished, too. I have deepened my relationship with my serger in the process. I no longer fear the little metal thingy that converts her to a 2-thread machine. To finish the bottom edge of the veil I used a 2-thread narrow stitch that wraps the edge of the fabric. It's not a hand-rolled hem; not a rolled hem at all, actually, but it works, and most importantly, the bride is happy with it.

I gathered the top edge, wrapped a hunk of veil fabric around it, sewed it down and whip-stiched it to a comb. Done!

Kim had her trial hair-do appointment Saturday afternoon.
Attaching the veil in the trial-updo
Looks good!
The bridal gown has been bustled and the gaping neckline tamed with clear elastic.
I was able to spend Sunday afternoon cutting out my outfit. Again I say, yee-haw! I can hardly wait to get started with the actual sewing.
