So I am in love with a Lazaro dress that by now after all of my research I am almost sure is too far over my budget then I am willing to go. So I start looking around for other designer with the same look that I am going for that is more in my price range. So I stumble across and page in a Wedding Magazine that I folded over a while ago and see a dress that fits the description. Simple, mostly plain and one definitive area of embellishment, Mermaid, Trumpet or fit and flare... Yea I know I am specific but I and pretty good with knowing what looks good on me and knowing exactly what I want. The designers name is Martina Liana. I go online to look and their collection and fall in love with some of their designs. I check out another site to see the price range and now I am even more so in heaven as it is way below my budget!!!!. So I click on store locater because I know I have to schedule to try some of these on and this is with the disaster strikes.... This dress in not sold in any boutique/salon/store in NYC/Long Island. I am like are you kidding me this is NYC. All of the other stores are atleast 2 hours away and I just don't know if I am willing to go that far for a dress... I knew Dress shopping would be a night mare for me!

Make a day trip out of it!!! Whre is the closest location?? If you know you love the dress the trip might be worth it... or you can start shopping some other designers to see if you find something else.
Check out my dress, it's in my album. It's very simple, the only area of embellishment is the band around the waist. It's a slight mermaid. It has a detachable train that makes it look like more of a ball gown when it's on but when it looks nothihng like that when the train is off. There are pics of the model and me in the dress...FM me if that is the style you're looking for.
And good luck!! You never know! The 2 hour trip may be worth it!!!

make a trip to go and see the dress in person and then call around to botiques here to see if they would order it for you. many shops will even if they don't carry the dress or even the designer. good luck!

I would definitely go find that dress and try it on!! If you are hesistant to make the trip, wait a few days/weeks... if you can't get that dress off of your mind then GO!! I know one 2010 bride, I think Janice?, had to trek out to CT for her dress! Good Luck!
