Found a new slip online today someone was trying to get rid of. It looks exactly what I tried on at my fitting. It was only $30 with shipping so definitely came out too way cheaper than a hem would be. Unfortunately I won't be able to try it with my dress until August 4 when my second fitting is so fingers crossed it'll be "poofy" enough because otherwise I'll have less than 2 months to get a different one.
I'm pretty diligent about keeping up our wedding budget. Today I looked at our total estimated cost and it is about $400 less than the last time I remember noticing it! I clearly shaved some costs (or overestimated things) over the past few weeks but to see that number was just so exciting. Especially this late in the game when all that will have a huge financial impact is less people being able to come than we estimate. But, all my little cost savings add up too!
