By Deb Hooker

The wedding gown. It's amazing
that a dress that only comes in
one color OK, maybe three;
white, candlelight and ivory can
be so hard to choose.
Even though she will wear it only
once in her lifetime, a woman's wed
ding gown is the most memorable
dress she will ever buy. It has to be
perfect, and perfection is hard to
find.
The nice thing about wedding
gowns is that they never go out of .
style, said Dawn Jacobs, assistant
manager of J'Maries Bridal shoppe,
225 N. Cotner Blvd. While some styles
go in and out, year after year, Jacobs
said, a woman should not feel like
she must choose something that
appeared in this month's issue of
Bride's magazine. She should choose
a gown that looks and feels beautiful
on her.
"For some reason, I can't say a
bride's out of style when she's in a
beautiful wedding gown," Jacob's
said.
However, there are some dresses
that are more popular this year.
Import dresses are in big demand,
Jacob's said. Designers such as Jean
Phoenix, Private Label by G and Bon
nie's are Jacob's biggest sellers, she
said. They cost anywhere from $495 to
$900.

13th and 0 streets, agreed that
import dresses are this season's big
gest sellers. She said women gener
ally are looking for dresses in a
medium price range that look and
feel expensive. Import dresses fit the
bill.
Hesselgesser-Robinson said she has
noticed a trend toward the tradi
tional. Brides are going for longer
trains and more ruffles.
Traditional is the theme behind
the design of one of Miller & Paine's
more popular gowns, the Ilissa, Ilissa
dresses usually are long-sleeved, high
necked silk dresses with hand-sewn
beading. They cost from $600 to
$1,350.
Although traditional is back, not
all brides are becoming carbon copies
of their grandmothers. Hesselgesser
Robinson said women also are buying
tea-length dresses which end about 4
inches above the ankle. Candlelight
and ivory-colored dressed are doing
well this year, too, she said.
Hats also are making a comeback
this season, Hesselgesser-Robinson
said. Big-rimmed hats with shallow
crowns are especially popular,
Jacobs said she has seen a hat rev
ival at J'Maries Bridal Shoppe as well.
Her customers are looking for a classy
but dramatic look in headwear, she
said. Women can expect to spend $34
to $170 for this look.
As if she did not have enough to
worry about with picking out her

wedding gown, most brides also
choose the groom's tuxedo.
Grooms usually do little more than
come into the shop to be fitted for
the tux, which the bride usually has
picked for him, said Tami Weissert,
manager of Max I Walker Formal
Wear, 235 So. 70th St.
That could be one reason the most
popular color for cumberbunds at
Max I Walker's is dusty rose, Weisert
said.
Black and grey are far and away
the most popular colors for the rest of
the tuxedo, Weissert said. Two of her
most-chosen designers are Pierre
Cardin and Bill Blass. Both styles sell
for $350 to $600 and ordmarilly rent
for about $50. However, Max I
Walkers now is running a special $25.
Blass and Cardin tuxes run a little
more than some other styles, but
their higher quality material and fine
lines make them worth it, Weissert
said.
The Dynasty collection is doing
well in Lincoln, Weissert said. The
television show made it popular, she
said, but its sales probably will not
fall with the show's ratings. The tux
is classically designed, so it will not
be a fad, she said.
Miami Vice wedding apparel is
another story. Weissert said she
doesn't carry the line because its
bright colors and casual design
dooms it to certain death when the
show sees it's last season.
