The Mountbatten Bridal

Ensemble

"

THE wedding of Miss Patricia Mount-

batten, ex-Wren officer daughter of Admiral Viscount Mountbatten and. Lord Bradbourne of the Coldstream Guards, at Romsey Abbey, in the New Forest, on October 26, was one of the biggest country weddings since pre-war days.

The bridesmaids were Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. Princess Alexandra of Kent and Miss Pamela Mountbatten who wore blue crepe frocks like the one sketched (right) by Virginia..

The bodice is square and buttons to the waist, the sleeves puffed and tiny, the skirt very full. They carried bouquets of blue and white flowers and gold roses, and wore matching real flower head-dresses.

The bride's, frock (left), of gold Indian brocade, had long tight sleeves and a closely fitting bodied. "The skirt swirls from the fitted waist into immense fullness, at the hem.

Her tulle veil was very long, bordered with real lace, and she wore it with a tiara of diamond stars and pearls. She carried madonna lilies.

PATRICIA LENNARD'S CLOTHES. COLUMN

Good For Years

WHEN overseas buyers go to London, what British fashions do they buy?

Well, it's still the same old answer --tweedy tweeds, sports clothes, suits and topcoats of "your wonder- Jut British woollens."

That is why. for example, Fira Bonenson, war-time designer for the evelusive Salon de Couture in New York's Runwit Teller store, has gone to London. She wants to take ta Amerien some typically British clothes and is spending her buying time between wholesale and model houses.

ller main criticism ot British ready-mades, with which I must

inck agree, is their fit-or

New Sleeves

TT'S casy to see from recent fur

shows in London that all skins from mink to mole are being worked like cloth, and are showing the con- temporary detall of woollen coats.

Sleeves for instance, are withiout exception, very full, often set wuist- deep, nearly always adaptable to three-quarter length for evening wear. (See Virginia's sketches.)

I have also seen:

They cannot find any individual beauties to paint. And that is because women, busy remaking themselves, all are beginning to look alike..
