Elizabeth-V's iwedoling Dress

.0. .. . ...,.. -1.

Despite the austerity which has surrounded the wedding of Prin- cess Elisabeth, hefbridal gown 1s a unique combination of simPIiCIW and magnificence and sets a. new fashion for Royal brides. When Queen Victoria was married 107 years ago, she wore a white satin robe lavishly trimmed with ‘a deep flounce of priceless Honiton lace. the bodice was half hidden by another wide lace flounce round the shoul- ders. and her heavy full-length white satin train (edged lavishly with orange blossoms) was so heavy that all her bridesmaids had m carry it tc take the weight from her shoulders. But the dress which Queen Victoria's great-great-granddailghter is wearing at her wedding today ls out very simply. although the ivory slipper satin of which it is made is so stiff hat it almost "stands by itself." The skirt fits over the hips and w dens towards the hem in front. but the wide back panel is long and full. forming a very short train. Unlike the low-cut sleeve- less gown worn by her great-grcat-grandmother. Princess Elizabeth's dress has long tight sleeves, set into a fitted bodice with a fairly low three-pointed decoliet e in front and cut high to the neck at the back.

But there the aim licity ends and the magnificence begins. For the gown is entirely covered-like that. of a medieval princess-with

' psnrl embroidery. Pearls of all sizes are used for the design of York

roses. wheat-ears on their stalks and orange-blossoms or star-flowers. large and small. Sometimes a drop pearl is set between every other point on s. flower and thousands of seed pearls are used._with a dia- creet (litter of diamante hero and there. Many of the smaller flowers arc appllquod in net and bordered with pearls with a surround of al- moft invisible transparent wystsl bugle-beads. These bands of orange- blossom and star-flown MI a final border sound the entire hum of

The Princess's slippers are of satin, and composed of wide bands
