Cocktail Hat

[WhiskeySal]

Newbie here. I'm interested in creating a sort of 'cocktail hat' with a veil pattern as in this picture. Any advice or suggestions?

You can do the pattern in GIMP, but in the end, I would use Krita as you will need the Krita's mesh tool transform.
With GIMP it will take too much time and pain to get a similar result of the veil, and not even sure it will be as "well made" as it could be with Krita

Once the veil is made, transfert to GIMP and I'll go with GIMP for everything else

I forgot, in GIMP your best friend for the veil is Filters ➤ Render ➤ Pattern ➤ Grid...
Drag n drop the layer from GIMP directly in a new already opened image in Krita's layer stack (don't do Krita to GIMP, but save as png or PSD then open in GIMP once transformed)

Krita's mesh tool with a quick example of a grid made in GIMP
(you do need to learn keys modifier, multiple control point selection, add columns and rows on the fly ➤ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLXWynZT_8s it's worth it )

Thanks for the advice! Would it be transparent? I'm wanting to put the veil over an image.

Yes.
