What the AUTUMN BRIDE will wear

White velvet and satin will be popular fabrics, but there will be a wide

variety in style and line.

THE majority of autumn brides will

march down flower-trimmed aisles in snowy white velvet. Those who do not select that fabric will wear either oyster- white satin or taffeta,

Wedding attendants will be dressed in autumn shades of velvet, silk crepe or taffeta and will carry autumn flowers. They'll wear big hats gloves to match dresses and velvet slippers. In other words, they'll make a colourful back- ground for the bride herself.

Bridal gowns vary a great deal as to style and line. There are regal ones for tall, willowy types and less sophisticated designs for young brides. One smart American designer makca a tunic-effect gown with long train and unbelted but trimly atted waistline.

Empire dresses have high necklines, long tight sleeves and slimly fitted bodices. Less severe: models have soft cowl nock- lines and a great deal of flaring fullness below the knees.

Remember that "extras" are all-import ant, too. The bride should choose her: veil, gloves nad shoes as carefully as she selects her gown. Her shoes should be either slim-looking satin pumps or T strap brocaded slippers with amusing Ket cut-out patterns. It's possible to

Guests, by the way, will find the now. luncheon and dinner ensembles perfect for weddings and equally useful on many other occasions. There's no sense In getting a dress that can be worn only to weddings. Better choose an outfit that will have a 'real' place in your wardrobe.

First of all, remember that you don't go in a nice little organdie garden-party number that you had last summor And your chiffon sult won't be appropriato either.

If the wedding is formal and to be held In the afternoon, a flat crepe dinner dress or formal afternoon gown is your best bet. If it's to take place in the morning or at noon, get a very smart luncheon or Informal tea frock with matching: acces sorica.

You'd better not wear black, Blue, green, orange, brown and soft shades of gray are good autumn colours and they're nicer than black for a wedding,

Get dressy T-strap slippers of volvot, satin or suede to wear with a dinner dress. Or suede opera pumps to wear with a luncheon frock. You can wear a wide-brimmed hat, one of the new and flattering pancake velvet berets, or a little: velled turban.
