I was really surprised by the other reviews of this veil not being good quality. It is a veil. The one we purchased came in a timely manner, and it was in good shape. It looks beautiful and it will work fantastic. The barrette part seems like it is glued on really great, but we will reinforce it because of other reviews. We didn't have any strings or anything wrong with the details of the veil at all. For being inexpensive this is going to work perfectly for my Daughter in Law.
