NEW YORK, May 12.-Since May
is the fitting time for June wedding
gowns, you should decide fairly soor
Just what your costume will be fol
that eventful trip to the altar.
You need not stick to white thi;
season. 1t is chic for a bride to be
blue this June, chilly, ice-blue, the
new Paris color for wedding gowns
Or you may have a delicate green
gown, or pink.
White of course, is still the favor
tie bridal gown. White satin, to be
specific, though for June weddings
you may have fiat crepe, chiffon
organdie, MORE, brocade. lace, net
mousseline, or even dotted Swiss OF
wolfe, if your heart so desires it.
The best things about wedding
gowns today is this very liberty Of
choice. After all, you ca npick your
bridegroom from the worlds entire
group of males. Why should you
not be allowed as much freedom OF
choice in the material for your we'd
ding gown?
Three Points In Selection
When it comes to making it, three
things should guide you. Surely
the first consideration should be its
hattering becomingness and its ro-
mantle appearance. Second, get a
bridal gown that you can wear
afterwards without having every one
say, There goes Mrs. S. in her
wedding dressw Third, don't go in
so heavily for your wedding dress
that you start marriage insolvent!
June wedding gowns make much
of trains, haring, trailing, Sumptu-
GUS trains that are part and parcel
of the wedding gowns skirt. They
prefer sleek, chic, moulded lines
the figure first, the gown fitting
garment to cover it.
Necklines are tremendously i'm
portant, Jokes of lace, net, hand
work, embroidery are in style. And
when it comes to sleeves, there is
only your lack of imagination to
restrain you.
However, it is surprising how
many wedding gowns have long, fit
ted, simple sleeves. Lanvin makes
wedding gown with short sleeves
and long, tight, high cuffs of the
same satin that button onto the
cuffs about where an old-fashioned
vaccination mark used to come.
Worth, always surprisingly himself
and original, make a nun-like cos
tune for a picture bride with long
flowing sleeves like a church vest
ment has.
Make Colors Match
Your gown may be cut with lines
moulded to the waistline and in
tricately cut to simulate a belt but
not be belted. Or it may have an
outright belt, fastened with a tiny
orange blossom cluster on one side,
or sparkling buckle. Some of the
organizes that garden weddings set
off to such advantage are made with
peplum effects, one of them corded
to stand out in Minaret fashion.
If you do decide on a pink we'd
ding, or any other colored kind, be
sure to match your veil, slippers,
gloves, and handkerchief exactly.
There should be no weakening at
the last minute so that it is a pink
and white costumel
Two of the new bridal gowns il
lustrate between them the sleek chic
Of limo bridal oncf1rv,,oc
Blue satin, in the chilly, icy blues
that is so fattering to blondes, so
devastating on titan haired girls, so
arresting on brunettes, fashions one.
Tt is made with the quaint touch of
matching chiffon yoke, joined to
the bodice with tiny bands of the
satin, used with the chiffon to round
from the shoulders to v front and
interlace there.
The gown is belted in normal
manner, has unusual fullness at q
rather high line and train second
to nothing for its width, length and
shimmering loneliness.
Sleeves Are Simple
The sleeves are clasSically simple,
endlng In mltt cuttS. And the icy
blue tulle veil is attached to the
head with a bandeau of narrow
bands of the blue satin, with orange
blossoms under the ears.
Chalk white fiat crepe is used for
a stunning cowl neckline bridal
gown. 1t is cut in f1attering v lines,
with an unusually tall, pointed
panels going in the other direction.
Its train is swishingly full, long and
really collection of pointed panels
that fit right into and become a
part of the skirt.

lilies, flat crepe on the outsides,
white satin inside, are modern
bridal bouquet.
