1t is in the outline that the autumn
bride differs from her predecessors of
the spring. The general, sloppy, I'M
corseted effect that was limited at in
the first part of the year has become
an accomplished fact with the fall. It
has taken just about six months for
the woman of fashion to reject the
so-called natural figure and then eXer-
else her feminine prerogative and &C
cept it. Only the vanguard of fash
ions followers have as yet accepted
the new silhouette, but the bride is
among the number, and the upto-date
corsetieres are making dainty little
abdomen pads 10 accompany the cor
sets the bride-elect has ordered for the
trousseau. Worn with a gown show
ing the "hitched-up' drapery or the
bOutfant founces and tunic. the re-
suit is an outline radically different
from the straight lines of last year
and even of the spring.
Fabrics for Wedding Gown.
There viii be very little change in
the materials for the brides gown of
gowns. The beautiful brocaded satins
with metallic threads of gold and sill
yer. preferably silver, will be COM
bined with chiffon and the plain satin
in many of the more pretentious bridal
robes, and velvet, the soft, supple. cob
web velvet, will also be used extern
sively. Both of these fabrics make
ideal court trains, and the long, flow
ing trains made famous by Vatican
are being copied in these exquisite
stuffs.
There is a train of brocaded satin
practically falling from the shoulders
and iiaring out over the hips, as il con-
cealing only partially the hustle like
arrangement of the draperies in the
back. The train may end in a long
point, not unlike the fish tail of other
years, or it may be extended in two
snakey points, or again it may be
square. The new front train, which
created such sensation on one of the
ball gowns at the openings, is not
practical for the wedding gown.
Chiffon in Combination.
The skirt itself may be of any
silken stuff, plain or brocaded, but it
is almost sure to be combined with
chiffon, and the chiffon is equally sure
to fall in bouffant drapings. reminis-
cent of the panniers of other days.
Today these drapings go by the name
of flounces, for everything that falls
from the waist line is either a flounce
or a tunic. Though the greatest full
ness comes between the knees and
the hips, the newest gowns show
tendency to bring this fulness to the
back and bunch it in an unmistakable
suggestion of the hustle.
The waist is a transparent creation,
SO sheer and diaphanous that the pro-
lection Of the tulle veil, meagre as it
is, is deemed obligatory by the more
conservative. The gown in the sketch
shows a jacket like arrangement Of
the brocaded satin which takes away,
to a certain extent, the startling.
naked appearance of the more trans
parent corsages.
Bridesmaids Frock.
So many of the new features are
adopted in the bridesmaids frock that
1t would serve as an excellent model
for the dinner gown of the bride. The
draping of yellow satin is daring, but
so well done that one is compelled to
admire. 1t swathes the knees, but be-
low this point hangs in loose drap-
cries, caught to give the slight SEM
blance of trousers. 1t is only when
the wearer steps that this resem-
blance is noticeable, and then not to
an Objectionable extent. The tunic of
chiffon is frankly one of the lamp
shade genre, though it is not wired.
Instead it is weighted so that it sways
with the movements Of the body,
rather than flares out as the SITTER
wired or boned tunics do. An edging
of fur effectually conceals the sub
terfuges necessary to produce this un-
dulating. rhythmic motion.
No Waist Line.
There has not been the slightest at
tempt to distinguish a waist line. ex-
cept at the sides, where the surplice.
draping of the fur edging may be said
to follow the line of the normal waist.
The effect of the brown fur against
the blouse drapings OF the yellow
chiffon is charming Equally happy re-
suits may be obtained by substituting
errnine and rose colored chiffon. The
blousey''' effect is confined in the
loose drapings Of the chiffon under the
arm.
A hat of shirred chiffon N the
niniche shape completes this costume
and to match the frock band OF the
fur is used as a frame to the face.
Instead Of the flaring bow of ribbon at
the back mount of pastel tinted os-
trieh plumes mods toward the crown.
The huge yellow chiffon muff is edged
with fur and the drapings are caught
with pink roses.
"Goine Away" Costume.
It is rot always easy to select a
suitable going away costume, for it
cannot be as severe as the tailored
suit which the bride viii later use as
q general utility suit, nor should it be
as dressy as the so-called "dressy"
tailored costume, the three-piece
Afraid She'd Pill Some.
