Cut on slim-fitting lines, the gown was vandyked to a yoke of diagonally tucked net, close fitting and finished in deep points over the hands, whilst deep ruffles of net accentuated the shoulder line. Flaring from the.knees, the full skirt swept into a short train A small halo of orange blossom and buds held the plain cut tulle veil in place; it formed a long train and was deeply banded with niching. A sheaf of deep cream and palest pink gladioli and rosebuds completed the bride s toilette. , , , Miss Ruth Dunstan attended her sister as bridesmaid, and wore a very girlish gown of briar-rose pink, silver striped cellophane crepe.
