Dress Strap Help

[MADMAX22]

Hey everyone, a friend of mine bought a summer type dress that has a strap that ties behind the neck. Its thin material that she doesnt like because it rubs her neck and is annoying. She wanted some kind of soft leather or something that would be more comfy to wear.

I have never done anything like this so I am looking for ideas. I have available a couple of nice soft deer skin lining leather that I can use. The rest of my stuff is veg tan, suede splits, and a couple of upholstery leathers. I was thinking of using the deer hide but not sure if some kind of braid would work.

Anyways throw up ideas or things that you have used in the past, I will appreciate it as will she.

Thanks,

EDIT here is a pic, she likes the beads so they will stay.

Deer would be my first choice too.

You could take some lightweight 2/3-3/4 oz veg tan, cut a 1.5" strap from it , paint it those colors, then strip 1/4" straps from it...that might work
