I used the black veil material that Olli described. It is available at fabric stores. I use it on my 105/1.8 and 135/2.0 in the studio only. For me it was for smoothing the skin. Because the effect works on more than just the skin you may want to add props (jewlery, wine glass, etc.) to add some highlights.
I'm now shooting without the diffuser because, as RFS said, you can simulate the effect in PS. I can get the sharpness and contrast that the lenses were designed for and alter the image in PS as I require.
If you learn to use the black net diffuser you'll have the best of both worlds at your disposal.
