GOLDEN WEDDING GOWN
Every bride strives for originality in her gown for the “day of days,” and one of the loveliest confections which has been made in Sydney, states the Sydney “Sun,” was worn recently by Miss Valda Rourke, when she married Mr. James L. Nurmoyle, at St. Brigid’s, Coogee. The gown was made to the bride’s own design, and is a glimmer of pale candle-gold. The skirt—elongated at the back—is a succession of pale gold tulle frills, each edged with a thread of gold, and all mounted on gold tissue. The bodice is of tissue, but the most unusual note is the coat-train of gold tissue, with sleeves of tulle. The coat is short in front, finishing at the waist, but at the back, instead of being cut, it continues its length into the train, which thus falls from the hips instead of from the shoulder. To remove the coat is to remove the train, and leave a lovely dancing frock. The train is veiled in a cloud of gold tulle, bound with gold tissue, falling from an original head-dress of orange blossom, which forms a narrow coiflike frame for the face. The bride carried three or four yellow iris, instead of the usual shower bouquet of sheaf. The bridesmaids were dressed in a deeper tone of gold.
