Summer solstice marks the start of another celebration…wedding season! Whether you’re on the hunt for a bridesmaids dress that you finally LIKE or a versatile gown you can wear again and again, finding formalwear that’s both affordable and impeccably tailored is easier said than done. With 3 weddings coming up this summer alone, I started searching for budget-friendly solutions online and came across an amazing brand called Fame and Partners (fameandpartners.com) that offers stunning, made-per-order formal dresses that can be customized to your exact measurements and style preferences. I was even more excited to learn that everything ships within 5-8 business days. The dresses are normally priced between $250-$300, but for the next 6 days, they’re offering 15% off of all merchandise (plus an extra 5% off for Budget Babe readers using the code: famexsale5).
