All ribbons have been treated to prevent fraying. The arm-holes are completed with a bias finish. The hems are 4 inches. So even though I make these in my home, they don't look home-made.   The material for each dress is pre-shrunk before construction, so the stated sizes are accurate. As with any pillowcase dress, the length can be adjusted somewhat by the ribbon straps.   You won't find better quality anywhere. I guarantee it.
