The quality of the dress is also so so. It is made of a thin cotton, that feels like sheeting. The print is really nice though. The stitching is sturd, but it is uneven. In the back one of the straps is fastened at the top of band going around the edge, and the other is fastened halfway down on the band.
Of course I got disappointed that I couldn't wear the dress, but I wanted to at least salvage the print and make it into something useful. Before going to Närcon I decided it was time to turn it into a wearable summer dress. I ripped away the zipper in the back. I then took a bit of black jersey and fastened it to edges, just big enough that I could stretch it enough to pull it over my head. I then took a purple satin ribbon and made thread loops that I fastend where the zipper had been, I also used the same satin ribbon as lacing.
At NärCon I wore it with my turqoise petticoat. It's needed to give the skirt a bit more flare. It fits great over the bust, with the cup being perfect for my C-cup, larger busted women might have problems though.
Once again my opinion of the dress is that it is fun, but you need to be weary of the sizing, and I recommend that you buy it at a sale rather than paying fullprice for it.
