A few suggestions

from

VICTORIA CHAPPELLE about clothes for that

SUMMER WEDDING

HE modern bride, sensible creature, is nothing if not practical. She doesn't fold her wedding gown away in the old oak chest with a sentimental tear. This, of course, may be partly because there is no oak chest, unless it is dis- guised as a refrigerator or a radio. But more likely it is because she is as pleased to wear her wedding gown to its last shred as any of her other clothes.

She plans darkly with her dressmaker ut the very first Btting as to how she can utilise this precious garment after the honeymoon. So here goes for one or two practical sugges- tions for wedding-gowns-into-evening-frocks.

No one this season seems to have bettered the idea of flowers in the hair for a youthful bride, so this Sgure is shown with a cluster of them prised on the front of her head, and with the ustiat yards of tulle veil.

Artist's Licence

The shoulders of the frock in the sketch look a little exaggerated, but that's merely a bit of "artist's licence"--they needn't be. The fashion for fancy-dress at weddings is passing rapidly.

But most brides like something "differ- If you prefer, you ent," as they phrase it. can have a jacket which stops short at the waist with a belt, so that there is no sugges tion of a basŋue.

But no bridesmaid thanks you for break- ing away from tradition. That's why I sug- gest the chiffon gown (over a taffeta pett- coat), sketched on the extreme right. With that ruching on the sleeves, the neck and the hem, her long gloves and big hat, she will a pretty bride make us attractive a foil to ns is possible to imagine.

The Bride can Wear

a dress like the one on the left in ivory or off-white moire or faille with a self-pattern, or she can stick to

a plain material. She can wear the whole thing later on for the evening-minus the train, of course; she'll The veil, chin- sacrifice this if she values her gown. length in front and falling to the edge of her train at the back, is more suitable with this gomen than any other.

The Bridesmaids can Wear

the dress sketched below in organdie or printed or embroidered stiffened muslins, or organza-which is a silk stiffened organdic. Black is not usually a shade beloved of bridesmaids, but if she can bring herself to add a black hat, gloves and shoes to a white or pastel shaded dress-which will be printed or embroidered in 'n tiny floral pattern-the effect will be charming. Otherwise choose a colour to blend.
