Martina Liana Custom Design!
I fell in love with a couple of Martina Liana dresses and in the process of deciding which to get, I decided I wanted both! So, I asked the designer if she’d make me a custom gown by bringing together the styles of two dresses: ML993 “Dress” & ML909 “Detachable Skirt” and customizing each a bit. She said YES! It’s a great way to do a wardrobe change without a lot of work. I wore the dress for the first look and surprised my husband with the detachable skirt for the ceremony. It was fun to take if off right soon after dinner and the first dance and hit the dance floor.
- The original 993 dress is more a-line, so she pinched the dress near the lower thigh area to create a bit of a mermaid fit and removed the x strap in the back to create an open back
- The overskirt in 909 is originally a different shade of ivory than the 993 dress, so she made a custom overskirt to match the dress… oh, the detachable skirt has POCKETS!
- And, of course, I needed a bit more bling, so 350+ Swarovski crystals were added to the dress
