Sir:

I was in the Air Force and stationed at Andrews AFB as EMS support for Air Force One. I would suggest a full-length gown of a color that completes your wife's features and skin tone. You can easily get a matching colored boutonnière (men's flower corsage). If your wife wants to be in "Native Dress" then I would suggest looking through some old fashion magazines for a dress designed by Mary McFadden some years ago that was native looking and your wife can sew her own designer gown that will equal that one or may be even come out better. She can accessorize the outfit with handmade native jewelry such as a beaded necklace and silver earrings (3-4 mm ball or drop type are acceptable) – do not go over board on the jewelry simple works best!

Hope this helps!
