THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: This information is for the ladies who wish to participate in the ancient Catholic and Biblical custom of veiling (1st Corinthians 11: full explanation here). Canon Law no longer requires women to wear veils, but the custom is quickly returning to local parishes all around North America.The following is a short list of online retailers who specialize in chapel veils and prayer shawls for women....
- Chapel Veils from The Knight's Armory - everything you need to battle the "tyranny of relativism."
- Headcoverings By Devorah - Pretty and feminine! Modesty does not mean frumpy! (This site markets primarily to Jewish women but the products are identical to those worn by Catholic women, since this Catholic custom originally comes from Judaism.)
- Fashion Scarves & Shawls
(Beautiful shawls make the ideal veil, but also serve a practical purpose as a shoulder wrap when not in prayer.) - Halo Works - Veils
- Halo Works - Shawls
- Vintage Chapel Veils

I have purchased headcoverings from Devorah (to whom you link above) and I can attest that her hand sewn veils and scarves are beautiful, discreet, practical, and everything you could want in a veil!
Please let me second Fair Angel - Devorah does beautiful work and is very worthy of your trust and patronage.
I have been making chapel veils since 2008. Each veil is made by hand and is unique... I also take custom orders. Please visit my shop at LadyinBlueShop.etsy.com for the very best in veils made by me, a Catholic wife and mother (of 4!)
Thanks and God Bless!

Please also visit VeilsbyLily.com for another unique selection of handmade chapel veils. Most of my veils are made with re-embroidered lace (also called Alencon lace) which drapes beautifully!
Thanks for the comprehensive list of resources on chapel veils. I think your readers might find this article interesting which discusses one woman's thoughts on the subject of veiling:

there is a young lady about 3 years old that is wearing a beautiful white veil. Do you have information as to where her parents purchased this from? I have looked at the websites available and clicked on the young ladys photo, but do not find a link. Would you help me?
I have purchased veils from Devorah and Lady in Blue. Both were lovely and unique, as I'm sure the veils, of the other ladies mentioned here, are.
My daughter and I have a veil shop, as well. We would be delighted if you were to visit:
