A bridal shawl can soften the shoulders while leaving the shape of your dress visible. Soriell’s pure silk bridal shawl with crystal back chain combines sheer ivory silk with a delicate detail across the back, creating interest from both sides.
A soft front drape with a crystal back detail
The shawl is made from 100% pure silk and measures approximately 55 cm (21.7 inches) wide. The fabric falls over the shoulders and into long, fluid ends. Across the back, a crystal chain connects the two sides and helps keep the shawl positioned. The chain becomes part of the styling, particularly when worn with an open-back dress.
The sheer fabric offers light coverage. If you need substantial warmth or an opaque shoulder covering, consider that requirement separately when choosing your wedding accessories.
How to style it with your wedding dress
With an open-back gown, arrange the silk over your shoulders so the crystal chain sits visibly across the back. With a simple dress, the chain can provide a jewellery-like finishing touch. If your dress already has detailed beading, try the shawl with your other accessories to decide how much sparkle you prefer.
For your fitting, wear the dress and shoes you plan to use on the day. Move your arms, sit down and walk a few steps after positioning the shawl. This helps you judge the coverage and the movement of the ends.
Choosing your silk shawl length
The available lengths are 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 500 and 600 cm. Every option is approximately 55 cm wide. Length is measured from one end of the shawl to the other, not from the shoulder to the floor.
| Total length | Approximate inches |
|---|---|
| 150 cm | 59.1 in |
| 200 cm | 78.7 in |
| 250 cm | 98.4 in |
| 300 cm | 118.1 in |
| 350 cm | 137.8 in |
| 400 cm | 157.5 in |
| 500 cm | 196.9 in |
| 600 cm | 236.2 in |
The model in the product photographs wears the 300 cm length. Use this as a visual reference, allowing for your own height, shoulder width and styling. Shorter lengths leave less fabric at the ends; longer lengths create a more extended drape. The longest options may trail, depending on how they are worn.
To estimate your preferred length, place a soft measuring tape over your shoulders along the path you want the shawl to follow, from one intended endpoint to the other. Ask someone to help and check both the front and back in a mirror. If you are unsure, send us your height, a photograph of your dress and the effect you would like before ordering.
Matching ivory to your dress
This shawl is available in ivory. Compare it with your dress in natural daylight where possible: lighting and screens can change how a white or ivory fabric appears. If colour matching is important, contact us with a clear dress photograph before placing your order.
Each shawl is made to order and includes the crystal back chain. The dress and hair accessories shown in the photographs are not included.
