I just don't think I have time to finish everything in a month.

I would try it on and then decide. I'm an advocate of proper undergarments, but I understand the time issue and sympathize with it!

It not only prevents see-through, but it holds them out and prevents the dress skirts from winding around the legs when you walk or dance. Those ruffles and tucks have a purpose.

A little bit shorter if you like, but it definately needs to be shorter than the hem of your gown's skirts by an inch or maybe two.
