honestly, if YOU love it though, that's what matters! you sounded like you didn't though ...
i got mine longer (to about my knees, maybe) and 1 later, not very much fabric because i didn't want it to block the back of my dress - but i still wanted the veil for the "bride feel" i wanted! the way i looked at it, if it were shorter, and ended around the top of your dress in the back, then it would distract from the dress. but a longer, simple veil would allow you to see through it, see the back of the dress - but still make you look like a bride! does that make ANY sense?
