I bougth these to use for my mom's center pieces for her 60th masquerade birthday party. I didn't use it as a boa and cut it to pieces to add as decoration. It looks pretty and the color is vibrant. However, it shed like crazyyyyyy. I wouldn't imagine wearing this at all because every movement would cause the some feather to fall and shed. It definitely didn't make the process any easier fo rme when I was cutting and gluing, but the end results still turned out pretty great.
