Bridal Fashions from 1948

      These two bridal groups were chosen by me to create all the romantic atmosphere for a happy wedding day -- plus the latest trends in modern fashion.

       Because lace is new, I chose white lace for the bride and the bridesmaid - sketched on the right. Both dresses are full-skirted and flounced, both have moulded bodice tops finished with long, fitted sleeves. 
       The bride's veil is a circle of lace shaped like a bonnet, from which falls a long tulle veil. The bridesmaid's headdress echoes the bride's without repeating it.
      The second bride is dressed in white satin and lace, chosen because satin is one of the most glamorous bridal fabrics in the world. The bridesmaid wears diaphanous chiffon in violet-blue, which is a new pastel tone.
      The bride gown accentuates the current silhouette, a tapering waist and rounded hips. The misty white bridal veil is held in place with a simple flower arrangement. A matching veil in a shorter length is worn by the bridesmaid. Betty Keep
