Ok, so there's no dancing. And there's not seven. But there are three! Black ones. Similar to bridal veils but not so fancy. In fact, there aren't any yet, but I need to make them for the production I'm costuming. How do I do it? Some of you must have made them before...

It may be worth having a look at some goth sites as a black veil is sometimes worn as 'formal' goth wear.
I made my wedding veil and it really couldn't be simpler. I bought a plastic comb to attach it to. Having established the length I wanted, I cut curved corners, I left the edges unfinished and simply gathered by hand the centre 1/3 at the point I wanted the veil to fall from. I then used a whip stitch to attach this gathered area to the comb.
There are sites with good instructions for this but I can't remember where - a Google should do the trick though.

Doh! didnt read that properly, missed the bridal bit, but still, a google will find veil instructions for you, blusher, chapel, cathedral...they're all out there. Liz
