But a review of the gowns made for her, and other members of the bridal cortege, reveals an adaptation adapta-tion of the present modes to individual individ-ual taste and refinement that is interesting in-teresting to every one. The most noteworthy feature about ill the gowns was simplicity. In a season of conglomerations and elaborations elabor-ations that often arrive at the stage of fussiness and shapelessness the gowns of Miss Wilson's1 trousseau were simple in design and yet contrived con-trived to strike the notes of the mode. Kurzman, to whom the daughters of multimillionaires appear to turn with ane accord when they go a-trousseau-Ing, undertook the pleasant task of Dutfitting the White Hour bride, snd iccomplished it in a manner to wonder won-der at Here is a picture of the bride, photographed pho-tographed in her wedding gown. The gown is of ivory white satin, made with a long train, and the lines of the skirt unbroken except by a flat application appli-cation of magnificent point lace. The bodice 5s draped In the quaint and fascinating surplice fashion at one side with a sash of lace drawn over the shoulder at the opposite side. The underbodice i3 of chiffon laid in irregular ir-regular plaits and fastened with a small brooch at the point of the "V" , shaped neck. It was a triumph. The very long and moderately full tulle veil was arranged in a cap for the head, with & wreath of orange blossoms set just back of the gathered fulness at the front. The short face veil is thrown back, falling free from the head, but the remainder of the veil falls from the cap, into which it is gathered across the back of tha head. The bouquet of white orchids with many loops of gauze ribbon and valley val-ley lilies was provided with the usual pendants of ribbon and sprays of flowers, the longest reaching io the bottom of the gown. The gown may be taken as a lovely type of the regulation bridal dress with a concession to the present mode1 in the hanging of the skirt and the open, uncovered throat. The sleeves were rather full and long. It Is a splendid achievement, and the rare lace that adorns it ought to outlast' generations of brides. It looks as if it might have been chosen with the idea of treasuring some memento of the gown, which adorned the bride upon the great day in her life. This, and others of the trousseau, are worthy the study of women who refuse to follow exaggerations in s"ly'le. The gowns are those of a woman of exquisite taste and a keen "sense of clothes." |
