H spring bride-most
likely in tulle, for fasli- ;
ion lias decided to array *|i§^
many a liride as well as ;
bridesmaids in tulle, this r ' ;
season.
To those planning
gowns for a wedding j
group, tlie idea of a bride 1
and her attendants all in )
tulle iiresents a tlieme of
fascinating possibilities,
Fancy can paint no lov- *
lier picture thtin the
bride clad in white tulle exquisitely
fashioned with classic simplicity, sur
rounded by a coterie of bridesmaids,
one in rose tulle, another in larkspur
blue, one in lavender, another in pale
yellow, perhaps another in delicate
green. The scene suggests a lily sur
rounded by flowers of every gay hue.
For the bridesmaids to carry wee
muffs made of flowers matched to the
color of their frocks, wearing tiny
caps or toques of the same flowers,
makes the scene even more enchant
ingly flowerlike. Speaking of flower
caps or toques for the bridesmaids,
the wearing of snug-fitting hats in
stead of the usual picturesque shapes
of wide brims, marks an innovation.
When it comes to the fashioning of
the bride’s gown, designers are han
dling tulle in entirely new ways. That
is, instead of indulging in flounces
and frills and tiers, such as most of
us associate with the styling of telle,
the modern interpretation is a sil
houette of featured simplicity. A re
cent wedding gown of great beauty
stresses this idea, in that tulle falls
very full from the normal waistline
of a fitted bodice of satin, there be
ing not the faintest suggestion of
flounce or the customary tiers. The
hemline finishes with points outlined
in silver threadwork.
Styled with even greater simplicity
is the tulle and satin gown in the pic
ture. Not only is the veil and the
train of tulle, but the skirt is veiled
in tulle in such a way as to in no way
mar its classic lines. The model il
lustrated confirms earlier predictions
that utmost simplicity will be made
outstanding in matter of bridal gowns

in many .instances. This is especially
true of several wedding gowns emanat
ing from Paris. These are of white
satin which almost assumes a tailored
severity, which, however, achieves ex
treme chic, and which most success
fully contrasts the voluminous and
resplendent veil of real lace or billowy
tulle.
So as to emphasize, by way of con
trast, the classic lines of the very
new tulle bridal gowns which have
no flounces er frills or furbelows, the
colorful tulle gowns for the brides
maids revel in picturesque bouffancy.
If the tinj’ hats and muffs, previously
cited, are to be carried, then fashion
insists on the new princess silhouette
which takes on its sprightly flounces
just above the kneeline, for a slender
ized effect is necessary to successfully
match the smaller chapeaux. With
the period frocks of tulle which are
ruffled from waist to hemline hats of
huge brim are preferred.
One of the cleverest items in the
way of an unusual handbag has
reached American shores via Paris.
The smartness of these bags is ttieir
amazing dimensions —perfectly enor
mous! They are two or three times
the size of an ordinary handbag—
measure between eleven and twelve
inches from side to side and as much
as ten or eleven from top to bottom.
Most of them are made of gay
tapestry and wherever they are on dis
play women cannot pass them by, be
ing attracted not only by their de
cided newness, hut their genuine prac
ticality at once appeals. Being so
roomy and targe they can be used in
endless ways—for shopping or as over
night bags.
DETAILS OT THE
IN BRIDAL ARRAY
But price them —especially an orig
inal model —and determination to be
come the happy possessor of one of
these coveted bags wavers, that is, if
one must “count the pennies.” How
ever, here’s a message of cheer to the
woman who can sew even a little bit.
Many faneywork departments are
carrying materials with patterns and
directions “how to make.” The metal
or shell frames or mountings are
bought separately. Very inexpensive
ones are available, the entire cost of
material and frame being a mere frac
tion of the amount asked for the fin
ished product.
The pattern of the bag depends upon
the style of frame used, so it is best
to select the mounting first. The min
iature sketches in the picture indicate
the different patterns to be used, ac
cording to the frame to which the bag
is to be sewed. Note at the top the
patterns are for bags with leg frames,
that is, the frame extends down sev-

eral inches at each side. The patterns
just below are for gate-frame or bar
handles.
The bag which the young woman is
carrying is a gate-frame. That is,
hinges at the center of the bar throw
it into a square opening. Those who
prefer the straight-across bar which
opens like the ordinary pocketbook
will have no trouble in procuring it.
The patterns allow three-eighths
inch seams. Cut material, interlining
and lining to fit size and style of
frame selected. For the bag with leg
frame sew sides and bottom together
evenly up to part marked X on each
side (See sketch). The lining and in
terlining are then stitched together in
the same manner. Insert in bag and
whip together neatly at the top, turn
ing in the edges. To mount on the
frame sew top edge of bag across top
and legs of frame. The gate or bar
frame bags are sewed in seams at the
side to the very top.
