Restoring Old Veil Costs?

My mom gave me her headpiece & veil from 50 yrs. Ago! It needs restoring (needs new stiffer backing to the pearl/crystal tiara--it`s not metal like today`s... Almost like an applique, but with pearls, etc... The pearls are all there!.) and it`s sewn onto a satin headband, the veil is sewn onto the headband too. Any ideas on what it would cost to have this fixed up. Or do i dare try it myself? thanks.

JoAnne, thanks for your encouraging words. I think I`ll try it myself. Her veiling (netting) is quite tired, so I will need to replace that ... Easy to do. And I can use the old as a pattern. Thanks again! Lbride
