Donna Baker Becomes Bride ot Navy Man Coming Events NEW YORK (AP)-Most modern brides who walk down the aisle look "dreadful" in wedding fashions that "should have gone out with the horse and carriage," says a noted New York milliner. "I went to some 50 weddings in a year and a half," said the milliner, who goes by the name of William J. "It was pretty dreadful. I went to observe the fashions and to see what, if anything, should be changed or improved upon." Weddings should be the most beautiful time in a woman's life, and everything associated with them should have dignity, he said Thursday in an interview with the New York Times. But neither bridal dresses the hairdos worn by brides impart this dignity, he contended.

1 "We must do away with the nipped-in waist, the huge full skirt, the massive train, the lay-, ers of whole cumbersome dress," said William J. In its stead, he suggested substituting "terrifically simple dresses that make a girl feel exciting." These dresses would be made of either dull satin or crepe, would be "almost comfortable" and would have ankle-length skirts instead of yards of unwieldy material around the feet. "Please," he said, "no sweetheart necklines or any of that junk. And no tricks, no fancy drapes and no seed-pearl embroidery." For the very formal wedding, William J. suggests a bride with the barest suggestion of a train small softness that comes out from the end of the skirt." He also suggests very long white gloves, bridal bouquets that look natural, casual hairdos and headdresses that look more like hats.

During his round of weddings, William J. came to the conclusion that "the bridal consultant is the number one monster, and the hairdresser is monster number two." Consultants, he said, have very little fashion sense and are bound by "phony tradition." As for hairdressers, he said they "get everybody upset and shouldn't be allowed at the wedding." In reaction, Maggie Fisk, a bridal consultant, agreed that too many brides are fussily dressed, but she placed the blame on the brides themselves and on their mothers. "We feel that manufacturers are putting too many beads and sequins on things, but if it's what the customers want, what are you going to do?" she asked.
