WEDDING f * GOWNS J -v FOR LIZ A'?*
SYLVAN RICH
LILLY DACHE
ANTHONY PETTORUTO
As we go to press , Richard Burton's wife, Sybil, says she will never divorce him . But there hasn't been a man, married or not, whom Liz couldn't wed if she wanted to. So with this in mind, we asked three top designers what they thought Liz should wear— and why. What do you think? At the end of the story, there is a ballot. Vote your choice. We want to pass on your recommendations to Liz!
If Liz Taylor ever feels that she hasn’t got a thing to wear — for her fifth wedding, that is — she need fret no more. All she has to do is take her pick of one of the three gorgeous creations on the preceding pages — designed exclusively for Photoplay by three of the world’s top fashion designers, expressly for Liz’ forthcoming marriage to Richard Burton — and her problem’s licked.
We’re not jumping the gun on a Liz-Burton wedding, either. True, at this writing, both happen to be married — to others. True, no divorce proceedings have actually been initiated.

And, say our sources about the current shrugs and/or denials : “Elizabeth and Richard are more in love than ever — passionately, wildly in love. And there ivill be a wedding. In proper time. As soon as a certain rather complex detail can be completely worked out . . .” The detail? Money.
To give Burton his freedom, Sybil reportedly has asked him for — and is getting — $1,500,000. (Says a close girl friend of hers: “She should get double, after what she’s had to put up with!”) To give Liz her freedom, Eddie reportedly gets a neat $1,000,000 from her “Cleopatra” take. As one of Eddie’s buddies put it recently : “You won’t see him in the picture, but Lord knows he sweated through every frame of ( Continued on page 40)
