Martina Liana 359

I'm in love with the Martina Liana 359 gown:

but was quoted approximately $2,500 which is a little steep as I am a grad student.

Has anyone found a gown similar- sweetheart neckline, keyhole back, sheath? I know david's bridal has a similar dress,

but one of the best parts of the Martina Liana is that the lace overlay is removable and you can wear just the silk charmeuse to the reception.

Any ideas? I wish the knot had a search option for "keyhole".

Thanks for any help!

OMG that dress is amazing!!!! I'd try doing a truck show.  I didn't do that, but I hear there are sometimes good deals.

I bought this dress in Houston for 15% off at a trunk show (and it was originally $1999).  I had the same problem shopping in Canada - it was $2700 there.  You might want to call around your area and see if they have the 2012 trunk show coming to them.  Hope it works out for you - it's an amazing dress!!!

I purchased this dress at a Sample Sale for $799, I couldn't believe it. Keep your eyes posted for sales!
