You've always dreamed of the day you would choose your wed- ding dress. You've pictured it so many times in your imagina- tion you could almost sit down and sketch the design. No one else would ever have one ex- actly the same as your's. Your dream dress ends there. It is impossible in this age of machinery to find anyone who could do the fine needlework re- quired--well almost. Last fall, a Toronto bride-to-be was faced with this dilemma. Quite by ac- cident, while visiting in Osh- awa, she saw a neighbor work- ing on a hand-made confirma- tion dress for a little girl. On checking with her hostess, Mrs. Harry Charuk, 147 Chad- burn avenue, she learned that the neighbor, Mrs. Dominic De Palma, 151 Chadburn, was a talented needle-woman who did Gewing as a hobby. A meeting was arranged and Judy Else met the woman who was to make her dream dress come true. Miss Else ex- her idea to Mrs. De- and although she had never made a wedding dress before, Mrs. DePalma felt she would like to try. She had made Italy, but had nevér used a pat- tern. She would rather design her own. Soon 40 yards of sequins, 1800 French lace were delivered. to pliqued with seed pearls down the entire front of the skirt. She wanted a full, detachable train flowing from the back waist- line, which would fall into a graceful curve at her feet. The centre back of the train was to be appliqued with a similar panel of lace and pearls. Mrs. De Palma pinned the material in place before cutting it, shaping it as she went, It was cut on the living room rug and basted together for the first time. Miss Else came from Toronto for a fitting and adjust- ments were made. The major seams were the only ones sewn on the machine, all others were by hand in stitches so fine and even it was almost impossible to see them. Then came the big job. To make the front panel, the two sides had to match perfectly so the lace was cut with the out- side edge toward the centre of the panel with only the flowers in the lace being used. These were carefully cut out and swn by hand onto the peau de soie and the minute pearls and sequins attached. The train was 12% feet long from thé waistline and almost as wide at the hem.. Mrs. De- Palma fully lined it with pelon and the lace appliqued panel was carried down the centre back. : On her wedding day, Miss Else was confident and radiant in her hand-made gown. Mrs. De Palma also made a gown for one of the bridesmaids and the flower girl, and has desig- ned and made a couple more wedding gowns since. Mrs. De- MRS.
