- Bouffant Skirts of Billowy Tulle and Floating Draperies Contribute to. i the Making of Wedding Frocks | "/ | W\ More Lovely Than Any Ever / -- So : y US 7 ¥ ANT BL \ NS Seen Before. By Mme. Frances ; 70 ok | The Famous Creater of Fashions "QO PRINGTIME, the only pretty ring- 'time," has rolled around again, bringing once more those large, white envelopes that contain a request for your gracious presence on the Eventful Day. : Bridal gowns and. bridesmaids' frocks were never more lovely than they are this season. The. bouffant skirt and floating draperies that characterize the mode of the moment lend themselves with charm- ing grace to the picturesque wedding. Possibly the loveliest color scheme that could be selected for a wedding party com- bines pink, mauve, hyacinth blue and that indescribably lovely shade which some poet christened "ashes of roses." Hydrangeas lend' their lovely tones to this combination of colors dnd the gowns illustrated would be exquisite against a background of hydrangeas at a church or outdoor wedding. Spring flowers that blend pinkish lilacs with pink and yellow snapdragons are also a lovely floral con- trast for the colors of the frocks grouped here, \ $ Many fashionable brides are wearing the bouffant skirt of billowy tulle draped over the conventional ivory satin. The modish silhouette is particularly pictur- esque when developed in these fabrics.
