MT EW YORK, May 3.-June brides
~ will go oId-fashioned this year
when they select their wedding
gowns, if they would be stylish.
The newest wedding gowns bark
back to the medieval age for their
inspiration. They have a dignity of
other years in their length and
trains; a quaint modesty in the cut
Of their necklines and incorporate
in their scheme of things the tight
bodiceS, long tight sleeves, peplums
and other themes of the long ago.
They are smart this June, how
ever. in exact proportion to their
! effect of simplicity. Richness of
! fabric is the keynote. Cleyerness
/ in cut is its running mate Much
real lace appears as yokes and sleeve
/ touches. Some gowns have net
regally embroidered in crystals and
/ pearls.
Classic dead-white satin has
! yielded to the Suntan desire for Off
white satin. Rich brooches may
have a gold or silver thread pattern
ing them. Chiffon, net, tuIle, geor-
gette and mousSeline de sole fash
ion many perfectly beautiful we'd
ding gowns, practically all of them
in the delicate off white shades in
stead of white.
Off White in Vogue
Even the pinkish off white is hav-
ing a vogue, and when combined
with delicate costumes for the
brides attendants, makes a delec-
! table picture that is unforgettable.
The tight bodied wedding gown,
with some individual cut to the
skirt. is the best taste. Phe skirt.
/ whether fiounced, TERED, composed
of fiat horizontal sectors. circular or
gored. usually is cut with ingenuity
| so that it hangs in soft folds almost
! to the ground with the train COM
ing from the hips.
The trains length Is immaterial
/ Some are short, usually the ones
that dip in three points, from the
back and both sides. Others insert
circular widths that fall gracefully
70 fashion a court length train.
( NccklineS are app to be wider
! than deep. Square and batteau lines
/ are more the cut of the moment
Than Y neck. Sleeves are either
/ the long. tight kind or else follow
some distinctive style, usually after
they leave the elbow
Heirloom Wells Good
Wells of lace are an enviable heir
loom to bequeath this years bride.
Nothing Is more queenly than the
creamy lace veil ones mother and
] grandmother wore. This years veil
flows out from under a little cap,
usually. This may be of lace, pearls,
tulle. fine silver mesh or brilliants.
The brides bouquet may be a
sheaf of white roses or lilies, a big
/ no5egay of orange blossoms or gar
denias. or a garden show OF white
llacS. uarcisSuS and orange bios
sons.
Distinctive and illustrative Of the
Mo-Gn age theme is Wedding
gown from Henri Bendel of classic
off white satin. fashioned long and
form fitting with a yoke Of exquisite
real rose point lace. The tight
sleeves are unique in the way they
open at the lebow to fall in flowing
beauty to supplement the train, The
headdress Is q Moyen age cap, made
of seed pearls on tulle.
For the bride lucky enough to
have a garden to be married in, or
for the bride who prefers an in
formal home or church ceremony.
Henri BendeI creates a stunning
off-white chiffon wedding gown that
IS charmingly feminine.
Its bodice hugs the figure to hin
