    I went dress shopping this past weekend, and within 75 minutes, and 5 dresses try-ons, I was in love with 2....a Pronovias gown, and a Martina Liana gown (who is my favorite designer)...I went with Martina Liana, and am in LOVE!!!!!!!!!! LOVEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to share my joy with yalll...but all of the fanfare of looking online, then trying on dresses for an hour and finding THE ONE...to now waiting for 4-6 MONTHS for my dress to be made and shipped from Australia....YIKES!!!!!!!!!!  Thats a let down and anxiety wrapped up into a nice little crazy ball!  On one hand,  i thought it was gonna take me a couple of appointments to find THE ONE, so i thought it was going to be a bigger To-Do..But i guess it is nice that I was blessed to have found it so quickly!!!

    Ugghhh im at work now and dont remember the style number, and its not on their website yet either!!!! but its a new addition to the 2010 collection.  I was told by my bridal consultant that I am a true size 8 (or American 8, if you will) but the sample size (10) for MOST of the Martina Liana gowns I tried on fit me perfectly...so they do run a little small,  i guess!  (Minus one that was baggy and needed to be held back with some of those clips!!) I will let you know the style when i get home and get a chance to look at my contract! i was for sure the style number would have been seared into my brain by now....lol!

    @seeing greene, go on their website, i believe they have a store locator on the site by state!! (if not check with that...ahem.....OTHER wedding site (lol) where the ladies tend to be a little snippy at times...they have a designer locator on there as well!)

    cinemaparadiso, its not a detachable skirt, but i think i know the gown you are speaking of! how lovely!!

    grace8367, i am SOOOOOOO excited, you have no idea. its almost like ok, thats done, now all i have to do is show up to my wedding! HAHAHA COMPLETELY forgetting that we were still having catering woes! lol. it is a nice feeling though and a sense of accomplishing something on the evergrowing wedding todo list!!

    Sorry to comment so late in this thread, but i have just recently fallen in love with Martina Liana wedding dresses and noticed that Soon2BeMrsCLW3 said that her dress was coming from AUSTRALIA. Well i live in Australia and they dont make those dresses here.  I was told that i have to wait 6 months to have mine shipped in from somewhere else... the lady didnt know exactly where.  Probably from slave labour in China...  hope not.  Does anyone know where these dresses are made?

    I am usually a size 0-2 and ordered my Martina gown in a 4 and it is a little snug in the ribs!
