The Latest Style in Bridal Attire
What the short-haired, shortskirted modern girl should wear on her wedding day.
By Cora Carlson
The shingled head is enclosed, not in a fluffy veil, but in a closefitting, silver-mesh skull cap, and the train, of the same material, is hung from the shoulders.
WITH hair and skirts getting shorter and shorter, the problem of what the well-dressed bride should wear is really getting serious. The ageold formula of veil and train is not so easy to follow as it used to~be, for a fluffy veil doesn't go very well with the mannish clip of the modern girl. Yet she must hide her shingle behind some sort of frillery, for her wedding is the one time above all others in a woman's life when she wants to look feminine.
Gwen Lee, Metro-Goldwyn player, whose photos are shown on this page, is not getting married— at least, not that we know of— but she has some ideas about what she will wear when her wedding day does come. The shingled bride, she thinks, should wear, in place of a veil, something like the lovely, silver-mesh skull cap that she has on. It's much more in keeping with the severe styles of to-day, and really quite becoming, if you have a wellshaped face.
But a bride must have a train, of course, and so, as she has done away with her flowing veil, the best thing to do, in this age of short skirts, is to let the train hang from her shoulders. Gwen Lee's is of the same silver mesh that makes such a pretty covering for her head.
Add a bouquet of flowers to your simple white dress, and your costume as an up-to-date bride is complete.
