BRIDAL GOWNS BACK TO PRE-WAR IDEALS Paris Damsels Tire of Bobtailed Costumes—Undertrains Now of More Ample Proportions. PARIS () —Short haired brides are ‘beginning to tire of the bob-trained wedding gowns which threatened a ‘while back to retire formal, old-fashion- ed wedding dresses to museums. The revival of feminism is more vig- orously manifested in bridal costumes than in any other phase of festive ap- parel. Long trains, long skirts, long sleeves, cloud-like tulle veils, orange blossoms, lilies and elaborate wedding corteges are all reinstated on the old lavish scale. Undertrains have widened out, fol- Jowing the flowing lines of skirts. The ‘square-cut court train is less seen in Paris, the up-to-dete bride preferring a more voluminous train of less rigid | character. | Bridal headdresses have had to adapt themselves to modern heads with the result that the close-fitting Juliette cap of pearl or strass mesh, and the pointed | Russian bandeau are replacing the once- general puffed cap of tulle with encir- cling wreath of orange blossoms. | The wedding dress which Princes Francoise of Guise, bride-to-be of’ istopher of Greece and Den- ses for her marriage in the be Paris’ most important | rriage of the season, Worth | t work on designs.
