While yellow is not my favorite color, this dress is not so garish in person. The color is more of a lemon yellow than a the bright neon yellow shown in the stock photo. I also think that the brightness of the yellow will depend on whether you have the dress on a dark or light skinned doll. The dress fabric thinner than some of the other dresses AG has made. I was initially disappointed that it is somewhat see through. The dress is nicely made and I feel the quality is there. I love the bonnet. It is very cute and versatile. It can be worn with other outfits. Since I want to show AG how much I like the NOLA collection, I bought this dress even though it isn't my favorite of Cécile's dresses.
ETA: This dress is suppose to represent silk. Silk is a sheer/thinner material. Most items I have owned that are silk needed some kind of undergarment, like a chemise, so you couldn't see my bra. So the fact that this dress is somewhat see-through, is most likely accurate. Silk is very breathable and cool to wear in warmer climates. Think how expensive this dress would be if AG actually used silk? And yes, I still think it would be see through.
