Wedding Fashions

Weddings are going "period" again especially in regard to the costumes of the attendants, Miss Eveline Lacy, daughter of Sir Pierce and Lady Lacy of Bury St, Edmunds, who is being married this week to Mr. George Pinney, is to have fourteen bridesmaids dressed in the "Romney style." Six little girls will wear white tulle frocks over satin, with fichus falling on the shoulders, and wide sashes of Romney blue moire ribbon. They are to carry baskets filled with pink rosebuds and forget-me-nots. Eight grown up bridesmaids will have dresses of white chiffon over satin in the true Romney manner. They will have white birds perched on blue and white twisted ribbons in their hair. The bride's dress will be soft ivory satin.
