Well, I'm an L.Rose silk veil addict - her silk veils come in two weights, "China Silk" and the silk she uses for her tie-dyed veils and it's much lighter and I think for double veil you'd want the lighter weight. Quality of fabric is excellent - really floats but even her lighter weight silk is not as fragile as others I've seen, but I don't have an Akai silk veil so can't compare the two.
Here's a tip - for double veil, try getting 2-7/8 yard circle veils instead of two 3 yard ones - it's a lot of fabric to deal with and makes a big difference to have them just slightly under 3 yards. a 2-7/8 circle veil is still big enough to use as a single veil too. That was advice to me straight from Lora of L.Rose and I'm glad I followed it - it's enough to deal with technical issues of double veil work without added length that's not really needed, unless dancer is over 5'10"! I'm 5'4" and 2-7/8 is plenty veil for me!
