I have mixed emotions about this dress.  The color is in fact a lovely sapphire blue. The style is just what I was looking for.  Fit is a bit on the loose size which is fine for me.  What I'm not overly fond of is the "finish" of the dress. I sew. I know all the different was to sew a hem. When this garment was constructed they chose to just leave the lace unhemmed. To me that is just lazy. This dress would be OK for a Friday out with your someone special but I had hoped to wear to a wedding and I find the workmanship not to be at that level. For the price paid I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
