  Part of your World Minnie Mouse Veil   Posted by TuTu Factory on Thursday, 7 January 2016   I managed to take some new photos and two videos of our Minnie Mouse 'Part of your World' veil today.  It's just like our Happily Ever After Minnie Veil except that it's got pre-made soft ears instead of the hand made glitter fabric ears.
