The dress is beautiful...however...the seam is serged (an overlock stitch for raw edges) with white thread. The thread used should have been predominant color of the dress (light  blue). As other reviews pointed out, the seam is in the front. Because the dress is sheer, a French seam, or a seam that is turned under should have been used, if the seam had to be in the front. I will be re-sewing the seam in the front bodice to hide the serged edges visible through the front of the dress. As it is, the dress has a very nightgown vibe. I will also probably purchase light blue ribbon to sew around the hem at the bottom of the dress. It has a nice lettuce-edge, small overlock stitch; but a lighter blue, matching the predominant color of the material should have been used. Again, because of the sheer fabric, the lettuce-edge gives the dress a nightgown vibe. I don't completely regret the purchase. I paid too much for it to be having to finish sewing it, but it is beautiful, it fits, and I should be able to make it wearable. A final note: a close-up on the front seam on the bodice should be available on the product views for other sellers to make informed decisions.
