M j SIMPLICITY is the keynote for summer bridal fashions. Even for the most fashionable weddings lovely cotton sheers or stunning high-style high-style piques are first choice for the bride and her attendants. It would almost seem as if fashion had been conspiring with brides-to-be this year in seeing that dreams come true (even if the budget did not allow a whole lot to spend) ol the traditional lovely all-white all-white wedding gown with the brides' attendants winsomely arrayed so as to form an unforgettable picture that would radiate happy memories through all the years to be. As to the answer to this problem for beguiling wedding outfits that do not cost a fortune it's given in most eye-appealing cotton sheers, piques, filmy marquisettes and chiffon-like airy-fairy weaves. Also starched and eyeleted cotton laces, and organdies (so inexpensive and lovely) are offered, likewise diaphanous diapha-nous nets and this year sees a revival re-vival of the ever-so-dainty lace-trimmed lace-trimmed batistes, some of which are exquisitely hand-embroidered. So enchanting have the season's cotton sheers proved, they will hold forth this year at some of the smartest weddings of the summer. There's something about the lovely love-ly cotton sheers that breathe the very essence of romance and the beauty of it is that a "picture wedding" wed-ding" can be realized with no extravagant ex-travagant outlay. The pretty bride's gown, pictured, gives evidence of the persistent call for the longer wedding dress rather than the less formal short effects. The gown as here shown is fashioned of organdy. Its outstanding style feature is the tier treatment of self ruffles down the back, with corresponding ruffles across the bodice. These fluttery little ruffles are perfectly charming 'in effect and the slenderizing lines of the dress are extremely figure-flattering. figure-flattering. The simple starched net headdress is attached to a pearl beaded skull cap. Brief hrtle veils of this type are the wanted kind this season. The cunning short gloves are an innovation. They also are embroidered in seed pearls. Either Ei-ther long or short gloves would be correct. Cotton nets make up ever so fetchingly in bridesmaids' gowns. The' picturesque bouffant frock shown to the left is of delicately dotted dot-ted white net. It is cut with a sheer yoke. Net is appliqued in scallops on the basque bodice. A fetching net headpiece has a bewitching be-witching flower trim. An old-fashioned bouquet of roses completes the ensemble. With this same bride's gown, the bridesmaids' dresses would be delectable de-lectable made of shadow print organdy, or-gandy, the delicate white-on-white flower shadowy print contrasting the bride's simple white frock most effectively. ef-fectively. Velvet ribbon in turquoise blue, or a different color for each gown If desired, tied with long streamers about the waist, would give entrancing color accent with bouquets made up with a prominence promi-nence of long wispy sprays of maidenhair maid-enhair fern. There's a decided flair among brides-to-be for simple gowns of plaster white waffle pique. This classic cotton weave yields delightfully delight-fully to stately uncluttered princess lines for the bride, contrasting quaintly picturesque dresses for the attendants with starched full skirts and fitted bodices enhanced with eyelet embroidered yoke tops and cap sleeves.
