After five years spent studying design in Israel, Ms. Galak, 33, moved to New York and opened a bridal shop in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, where she began making dresses as big and engineered as any painted by Fragonard.
Her own occasion to wear such a garment came when she married another Ukrainian, who proposed after an appraisal period of 10 days. Opening a bridal store in one of New York's Russian-speaking neighborhoods is, it turns out, about as risky as erecting a surf shop on the Pacific Coast Highway. Among the wave of newcomers to the United States since the late 's, Russian-speaking women appear to be the likeliest to marry of all. By the time they turn 40, only 4 percent of women born in Russia or one of the other former Soviet republics have never married, compared with 15 percent for all women in that age group in the United States.

They tend to follow the example of their parents, many of whom married in their early 20's. Alla Farber-McEntee, 33, who arrived in Brooklyn with her family in as a year-old from the republic of Belarus, said: "I think in general, Russian families are very close, and older generations help out younger ones and thus the younger ones are highly influenced by their parents and even grandparents.
In contrast to contemporary American culture, where marriage at too young an age is viewed as irresponsible, "marriage in this community is generally considered a good thing, especially if it is to someone seen as a quote-unquote good guy," said Aviva Zeltzer-Zubida, an assistant professor of sociology at Brooklyn College who has studied Russian immigrants in New York.
