The flowers on the strap are glued on and there is a little bit of red threading to hold them together. This part of the dress definitely feels cheap. The glue is not visible from the front but very visible from the side. The color is a nice red and will be suitable as a bridesmaid dress. The dress is lined (has 2 layers) and the fabric feels nice otherwise. I would keep it since it was cheaper than other bridesmaid dresses I looked at.
