BRIDAL DRESSES

BRIDAL DRESSES
often show tulle over failie Francalse,
which for June eddings Is better
liked than gros grain, because lighter
in quality. The latter, however, has
really the first position, because IN
natelv handsome fabric, while
garniture of lace must always take
precedence, in which case II were well
to have the veil of lace TO correspond.
But tulle has special charms which
nothing else can rival, and the floating
veil of the same lovely texture pro-
duces an answering loneliness that
must be recognized by the most IN
sensible. Orchids or white lllacs are
held IN particular esteem at present,
and as a concession to the rage tor
shoulder trimmings half wreath may
appear on one side or flower or spray
nestle on each shoulder in a bed OF
tulle or lace. The cOrsage bouquet
matches or half garland sometimes
takes its place, but skirts are not orna-
mented by flowers as a rule, though
now and then q flower chatelelne re-
places the glrdle worn in Marguerite
dresses. The favorite way CT making
is with long, full train, gored fronts
and short basque, cut with heart
shaped neck, the sleeves pulled at the
TOP and long. When tulle is worn over
faile 1t is usually draped in successive
falls so that the original fabric shows
but family through, and in such case
the basque and sleeves are draped in
like fashion. Brocades are eXcep-
ceptional, vet form very handsome
. Il &c
affectatiOn of old styles IN a full skirt
gathered to the waist, high cut about
the throat and long, wrlnkling sleeves.
A minority of wedding dresses show 4
yoke and sleeves of lace, and couserva-
| tive families still select orange blossoms
| as the bridal flower. But hlacs or
orchids are more popular, and some
| times the bouquet is tied with broad
ribbon that reaches the floor. Crepe
de chine IS used to some extent IN
| trimming.
| Fashion has never presented quite
| such facilities in the way OF cOmbina
| ton dresses since materials OF every
\ texture and colors formerly thought
| antagonistic are freely placed together
/ while the draping of lace or net over
black silk, gives opportunity for utlllz
| ING many q creased breadth that other
| wise might nave been useless. For the
| encouragement of the home dress
maker or professionals indeed as well
il NAV be added that Milward's calyJ
| eyed needle Is found n wonderful saw
ing of time and annoyance TO all per
