Veil Wraps
Sari Wrap
This is actually an Indian dress which although it's not exactly
for bellydance it can still work for pieces which may have Indian
influences either way their still beautiful. A sari is a lot longer
then a veil it's 6 yards as opposed to 3 yards. To do this you
should have a tank top, short T-shirt, or at best a choli and a
long skirt (preferably drawstring). To the right you will find
pictures to describe what I am saying.
Step 1: Tuck the top of the fabric into the skirt just left of
the naval and wrap it once around you so that you
are back at your starting point. Tuck the top of
the fabric into the skirt.
Step 2: Now you will need to make pleats with the fabric.
Most people will make 7-10 Pleats. When you
have made your pleats tuck them into your skirt.
Step 3: Wrap the fabric behind you and around you. In
the front, gather the remaining fabric and drape it
over your right shoulder. If you want you can
secure the fabric by pining it to your shirt.
Basic Wrap
This is a very common and easy wrap to do. And is just as
easy to take off. If you want to tuck the opposite way, just
replace all the rights with lefts and lefts with rights.
Step 1: Extend your left arm. Drape your veil over your left
shoulder and arm, with half of it in front and the
other half behind you.
Step 2: Tuck the veil on your shoulder into the inside of
your left bra strap.
Step 3: Pick up the top end of the front portion and tuck it
into the right side of your hip belt, allowing the
bottom part to drape freely.
Step 4: Pick up the top edge of the back portion and tuck
it into the right side of your hip belt, allowing the
bottom part to drape freely.
Step 5: Bring a portion of the veil in the front across your
collarbone and tuck into the inside of your right
bra strap.

Unwrapping
Unwrapping is generally very simple. Whatever you did to wrap
yourself, reverse that and you can easily unwrap yourself.
Certain wraps, all you need to do is hold one end and give a
slight tug and then everything else comes out and you can slide
your hand along the edge till you've got a good hold on the veil.
Pictures are currently unavailable but, I hope to have them up soon.
