Bridal Gowns Feature Heirloom Quality
The heirloom quality of new bridal gowns is portrayed in their traditionally elaborate styling, their many elegant detail touches and in the sturdy, yet floatingly lovely qualities of the nylon tulle and nylon net fabrics being used for so many of the new bridal creations.
Brides-to-be, planning fall weddings, will have an elegant choice of gowns awaiting them. These are designed, for the most part, for flattering wear in the "Great Day," then for storing away for a daughter or granddaughter's proud wear at some date far in the future.
Whether she decides upon a floor length or new shorter style gown, she will give her designs created over a dress that will also give her pleasing wearing

possibilities during her honeymoon and even at later gala occasions.
Two-part bridal attire, of this type, may have an extravagantly tiered overskirt, it might have a long sleeve Mandarin jacket covering a decollete gown or it might be designed with a matching ethereal net stole.
Newly rounded cathedral or chapel length trains are featured on many full length bridal gowns. Other elaborate touches include eye-appealing glitter such as sequins and seed pearls or such rich additions as side panels, aprons, detachable fuchsia and double bodices achieved with double folds of fabric.
Also excitingly new for bridal attire is the middy silhouette which, in one instance, is defined by precious seed nears, around the bins.
Nylon tulle and net, being introduced for fall and winter bridal wear, is sometimes featured alone, but more often it is combined with such seasonal fabrics as lace, satin, velvette, taffeta and faille.
Typical example of this combination might be a satin dress covered with a lace trimmed net overfrock.
Although gleaming white is still very much in favor for the bridal picture, there are also a number of pretty pastels now available. They include pink, pale blue, mint green and topaz.

Fall Clothes to Feature New Textured Look
The Textured look of fall '52's fashion fabrics, almost a "natural" for knitted designs, is a feature news point for the new season's creations along with newly popular middy lines and knitted ensembles that come in two versatile parts.
Feather-light, lacy textures, ribs that widen gradually, tightly woven surface stitching and nubby chenilles are all used to achieve the softened textures of the season
Middy lines, in new knit fashions, are reflected in overblouse styles, that often are beited, as well as classic middy-top patterns One style, for example, has the torso mildy
top with a small turtle neck and an easy going four-gore skirt
Newest ensembles mean added versatility for fall wardrobes, for tops and jackets of these knitted styles can often be teamed with other skirts or worn over contrasting tops Typical instances are middy tops, cardigan jackets, overblouses and slim fitting tuck intops
Wool suiting can be "spot cleaned" with soap and water in an emergency. Water soluble grease spots and sugary or syrupy stains come off with a soapy damp cloth. Rinse by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
Color to be Accented
It's one against one or one with one serving to achieve an exciting new outlook for the fashion color chart this fall.
Black, for example, will be used to underscore colors in all ways and on all fabrics. It may be used as an accent mark. It may be an important part of the pattern or it may even be woven into a fabric in a tweedy effect. Usually it will be combined with such rich shades as emerald green, coppery brown or ruby red.
Making exciting color news, this fall, are the many greens in evidence. Elegant emeralds, a complete range of gentle olive tones as well as inky deep greens are all to be seen. Reds, too, make news, especially when they present a
rosy outlook that has been lightly tinted by blue.
That perennial favorite grey, continues to hold its ranking position for fall '52. Still popular for grey flannel, it will also be notable when combined with a series of tawny tones that may vary from light apricot to caramel to the deep browns.
The blues look fresher than ever in a variety of shades.
Soiled sections of riding breeches can be spot cleaned with a soapy sponge or cloth. Lay the fabric flat on a table and rub with suds. Wipe the suds off with a clean rinning cloth, shake and smooth out wrinkles, and hand the breeches upside down to dry.
