Many a Tune bride is talking not of many sets of hand-made
underwear, nor daily visits to the dressmaker, but of her trips
to the ready-to-wear shop and her deep grief at discovering that
quite likely she will have to order her wedding frock made by a
modiste. Nearly everything else she buys ready made.
The eoing-away gown is one of the integral parts of a trous
seau wnich a bride-to-be can select ready-rnade without a tremor
or misgiving. It seems almost as if manufacturers had had in
mind the June brides when they designed this season's tailor
mad or more dressy coat suits. Never before have designs been
so jaunty, colors so bridc-like or fabrics so sheeny, even for the
severest of models. The short coats, from tailored "Prince
Chapi" to cape Etons arc just the thing for June brides.
One example is shown in to-day's illustration, a natty 'Trinca
Chap" wit of blue brilliantine with the new pleated skirt. The
coat lined with white peau de cygne or taffeta, according to
taste, lias collars and cuffs or reveres of white English whip
cord which is easily cleaned. It is one of those dependable styles
that can be worn for a going-away frock this spring and a run
about or daily marketing suit in the fall. With this may be
worn a matching silk blouse or a blouse of ecru net, and the
new buff glace gloves.
A very pretty blouse shown in this very connection is the
model in lace and net, the net showing the zig-zag pattern, the
lace in the cross bar design. This is made over a silk foundation,
with a yoke of Val lace, outlined by batiste embroidery and a
heavy medallion to match. The elbow sleeve has a combina
tion of lace and embroidery on the cuff, and the entire crea
tion, suitable for combination with any dressy skirt or "tailored
suit, will leave something for gloves and little accessories from
a ten-dollar bill.
Every bride who intends to travel during the sumrher or whose
friends ? given to motoring should have one of the new pongee
coats. 1 hese arc very full; to be worn over all sorts of dainty
summer frocks. A good model shows natural colored pongee
with inlaid collar and cuffs of black poie de soie, deep cuff
shaped pockets and cnamclod buttons of gold inlaid with black.
A coat like this can be secured as low as fifteen dollars and is
useful for all sorts of wear, when a dressy wrap is not required
and a tailored jacket would ruin the fluffy raiment beneath. The
home dressmaker who endeavors to copy this design will note
that! the-coat is very full, almost baggy, but it is built on slant
ing,' not the old straight, lines of the box coat. Note, also, that
the fullness of the sieeve is stitched flatly under the deep cuff.
The lingerie dress, which every bride needs for afternoon
wear, and which in fact is quite pretty enough for summer hops
or porch parties, shows the excellent results which can be secured
from mercerized batiste laid in folds. It is combined with quan
tities of German Val. lace, inset in the familiar Wall of Troy
design. Note that this design forms a yoke for the skirt, and is
worked out in a square yoke for the blouse. Again it appears
in narrower form above the hem of the skirt and straight across
the bust in the bodice, while the deep cuffs below the elbow ara
made almost entirely of the lace in the Greek design. It is this
insertion which makes the modern lingerie waist or costume so
fascinating.
