GREAT LATITUDE IN WEDDING
GOWNS-VEILS A NECESSITY
-BEWILDERING ARRAY OF
PARASOIS,

June brides wear exactly what
they like. That is to say, there is
no hard and fast rule as to the wed.
ding gown. A stiff gown of white
satin is no longer the only one
deemed possible. The more the
bride has been in the habit oil
studying her own individual needs
in the matter of dress, the more
original her wedding frock will be.
Often very artistic also, and most
picturesque, the whole wedding
party.
Soft white satin generally forms
the foundation, yelled with en-
broidered chiffon. The plain satin
train starts from the high waist in
a gown of empire effect, while the
chiffon tunic extends from the neck.
Often the chiffon is embroidered
with pearls as well as silk floss.
Point lace and pearl embroidery
trim the corsage.
Quite recently at church we'd
ding, short bridal gown was seen
of white satin veiled with white
chiffon. lace coat was worn with
this, and big picture hat.
Pink is the favorite color for the

vail here also, with variations.
A bridal gown intended for a
very elaborate evening church we'd
ding was recently shown the Citi-
zen Fashion editor. 1t was of
ivory satin hand-embroidered and
dotted tulle. The train to this was
square and the band of embroidery,
which started at the shoulders, was
carried down the sides and around
the corners. In the center of the
train, the band ended in an elabor-
ate design. The sleeves and bodice
were cut in one with the embroid-
cry outlining the top of the cor
sage. The decollete neck was filled
IN with point lace. On another we'd
ding dress, a fichu of point lace
was noted, which draped the cor
sage from right to left, and then
extended down the side of skirt in
a cascade, ending at about the knee
in sash of tulle. This sash was
caught to the skirt with sprays of
orange blossoms.
Most quaint and bewitching are
the little caps, which are such a
feature of late weddings. They /
are coquettish affairs of lace and
,ulle, to which the veil is attached. /
Bridesmaids gowns are short
enough to show their little slippers. |
