Description
Design
Our 3D-style face covering was born after making numerous masks for my family.
The shape of this 3D Cotton Face Covering sits away from your mouth and nose, so you are able to talk, laugh and yawn without it sliding off. Because some of us have sensory issues, designing for comfort and wearability was paramount. The resulting design is comfortable, breathable, adjustable and fits super well on a variety of shapes and sizes.
Creation
Your face covering will be created to your specifications, and all work is mindfully completed in our own studio. Because our products are made to order, construction will take from one to two weeks. We promise it will be worth the wait. Thanks for your understanding.
Shipping
Shipping is through Canada Post. You may also safe pick up at our studio location, or have your order delivered to select locations in Simcoe County. For delivery catchment area, see this link. If you wish to order one or two sample face coverings shipped via Canada Post Lettermail™ without tracking, we have included the option to do so. See our 3D Cotton Face Covering samples page.
Construction & Options
Our standard 100% 3D Cotton Face Coverings are made from two layers of pre-washed premium cotton, with a casing to allow you to both adjust, and change out the tie. You may order your masks with or without nose wires, although nose wires are recommended if you wear glasses. See more on eyeglasses and face coverings here.

Our Sizing
We have five size options available:
- Child
- Adult small
- Adult medium
- Adult large
- Extra large
Mask Fit
This style only covers where it needs to (not ear to ear). Because of the extra space around your mouth and nose, our sizing is generous. The various ties we offer allow you even more flexibility in fit.
Other Options
You may choose your 3D cotton face covering either with or without a nose wire. If you chose a mask without a nose wire, you may order it either with or without scoops. Essentially scoops are small cut-outs at the top edge of the face coverings that allow a better fit around your eyes. See the images in the Finding Your Size link below.
3D Cotton Face Covering Ties
For further customization, we have three tie options to choose from: Bungee-style Elastic (think pony tail elastic), Nylon Paracord (non-stretchy soft nylon cord like a hoodie drawstring) or soft and stretchy, 3-ply Ear Loops. Keep in mind that if you have ordered a tie option that doesn’t work for you, we have ties available to purchase individually here.
Children’s Ties
Children’s face coverings with around the head Bungee-elastic come with safety release toggles. You may prefer to order child sizes with either ear loops or nylon cord. Many children find the elastic ties or nylon cord around the head more comfortable than ear loops for long periods of time.
For a bit more on fit, scoops and ties, see our page on finding your size.
Find Your SizeFabric Choices
Please do ask if you have previously ordered a fabric you don’t see in our gallery. We would be happy to check our stock for you. Because our fabric collection is extensive, fabrics are broken into two galleries: kid’s only fabrics (including a limited number of small), as well as all other sizes (including kids). To see this large grouping of fabric go to our fabric gallery page.
Choose your fabric in Drop-down Options
Please pick an alternate fabric when you order your face coverings. When choosing your fabric options select your first and second choice fabric for each face covering in your order.

Use & Care
We recommend washing your 3D Cotton Face Covering by hand, since this will extend the life of your mask and ensure that it will always be ready to wear the next day. Wash at least once before you trim your elastic bungee cord, as the elastic may shrink slightly. We have recently discovered a salad spinner hack which is super convenient for hand washing face masks.
There are further instructions, as well as video link to salad spinner hack here.

We love these masks! I really appreciated being able to customize all the features, from the size to the ties to the nose wire, as I was able to get everything that both my partner (lab worker) and I needed out of our masks. The prints are awesome, and the masks are also really well constructed – they have a good seal, but they don’t cling to your mouth/nostrils, which is way more comfortable for the summer. I’ve been recommending this shop to all my friends, and will be back for more!

These masks are great. The 3D shape is nice so the mask isn’t plastered to your face. Very comfortable to wear. Masks were ready in a week and arrived nicely packaged a few days later. Will be ordering again.

Fabric is beautiful and custom options are practical. I’m really glad to have found a mask option that does not cause my glasses to fog.
Helpful, easy to navigate website. My masks were delivered within 10 days of placing my order.

The nose clip really helps to get a snug fit. Got them with the ear loop which is comfortable but wish the ear loops had sliders to make them easier to adjust.
Very quick and courteous service. Masks were delivered very quickly too.

I am so impressed with the whole process and experience that I found with Verity Blue. The site is so easy to navigate, informative and helpful! I love how many options there are to customize your perfect match; The patterns are insanely beautiful (I had such a hard time not adding every single one to my cart!), the option of ear loops/wraparound elastics/paracord is so accessible for a variety of purposes like long term vs short term wear, and the sizing chart is simple to follow and helpful to choose! I had no concerns that my masks would fit and when they arrived (in under two weeks to boot) I was so impressed by the quality of the build. The panel style of crafting makes so that the bottom doesn’t dig into the soft skin of my throat like other masks I’ve used, the main panel is structured and creates a small gap between your mouth and the fabric for comfortable and easy talking, laughing, yawning and more, and the nose panel with wiring ensures it doesn’t ride up to your eyeballs and stays in place! Ideal for glasses wearers as it eliminates the dreaded ‘breath fog’. The masks themselves are individually packaged, which I appreciated because I hate stuffing my mask in my pocket or bag with no protection so having a bag for each one is extremely helpful to me. The paracord I ordered is vibrant and fun and matches the masks beautifully! So sturdy and extremely comfortable for long term wear as well. There are care instructions included, as well as a beautiful letter detailing the safety precautions the artists are taking while making the masks which I know can be extremely comforting for people ordering online. Overall in love with my masks and pleasantly surprised by my experience ordering here! Will definitely be taking a road trip to visit the gallery during my vacation to say a personal thank you!

Love, love, love these! Finally found a style that works really well for me that is comfortable. I can breathe, laugh and talk in these without the mask sliding down my nose or up into my eyes. I love that they come in multiple sizes– the child size fits my 4 year old perfectly, small is good for me, and medium for my mother. The nose piece helps the mask sit where it needs to (didn’t order any without) and the multiple options for how you wear it (ear loops, bungee etc.) are fantastic! Also LOVE the choices of prints! Easy to hand wash and dry over night. I get a lot of compliments on these and now exclusively wear them. I very highly recommend. Well worth the price. 😀
I had a question about sizing which was answered very quickly and sizing was then added to the website! Loved how user friendly the website was.

The fabric is lovely and comfortable. Compared with other masks these are the easiest to breathe with and the most comfortable. I gifted out some of these masks and each person has said it is their favourite. The cotton only masks were great to breathe through, but my one mask with silk is even better to breathe with – I’ll wear that one for longer stretches. Excellent and considerate service. Packaged well.

I purchased two COVID-19 masks from Verity Blue Studio and am exceptionally pleased with the quality and design. There is a huge selection of fabric colours and patterns to suit any taste. The masks are comfortable, lined, with a fitted nose, and no pressure ear loops. I wear glasses so fogging and condensation have always been an issue, until now. It is also easy to wash. I highly recommend this quality mask and have received many compliments.
