Nayrt but I think it looks much better when ruffles are finished with a narrow hem or “normal” rolled hem wherein the raw edge is encased in fabric, rather than a serged rolled hem wherein the raw edge is encased in thread. It’s confusing because both types are often called rolled hems but one uses mostly thread whereas the other is folded twice. This isn’t super black and white and sometimes a serged hem is perfectly fine, but on thinner wovens like that Taobao dress it’s clearly a cost-cutting and time-saving choice. It’s especially grating (IMO) when the thread doesn’t perfectly match the fabric and the stitch length is long enough that you can clearly see the individual stitches.
