The theme of this winsome bridal dress which so obviously plays up simplicity (a sophisticated simplicity, if you please) is white silk chiffon. Draped, it is, in classic Grecian lines, for the latest gesture in realms of formal fash ion is the draping of diaphonous ma terials after the art of ancient Greek sculpturing. Now comes the touch-exquisite touch-exquisite which climaxes the beauty and sweet simplicity of this chiffon rhapsody and will cause all who behold be-hold to say of her "the bride was a perfect picture" she carries white violets for her bouquet.
