Dear Ladies:
When you think about what color to choose for your gown, do you ponder how the color will set off your skin? Your hair? Your eyes?
If you are a young unmarried lady, it is traditional for you to wear white, or the bolder choice, off-white. Some young unmarried ladies, knowing that they don’t look their best in either of those two colors, choose something more complementary. A soft blue, for example, to match their eyes, or a vibrant purple that makes their dark hair even more striking.
If they choose too boldly, however, they are castigated.
But in order to attract a mate—and therefore move themselves from the unmarried to the married column—they should look their best.
What should a young lady do when faced with this conundrum?
The answer is simple: What will make you look your best to the one who will love you best?
