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).
I ordered 3 different dresses for my upcoming events from Fame & Partners, and I have to say, I’m loving all of them! It just goes to show you, when something fits RIGHT, you don’t have to invest in the other accouterment as much (i.e. accessories, hair and makeup, jewelry, and fancy footwear). I suppose you could find a dress the traditional way and get it tailored to your body, but remember formalwear is the priciest kind of garment to alter. I found this route to be more cost-effective, higher quality, and not to mention creative!
