We ordered these boas for a production of Mamma Mia. Super happy with them. I had ordered 80gram (supposedly) boas from another company and they were not of good quality, so at the last minute these were the only ones I could get fast enough in the right color. When they arrived we were thrilled, because they were great! Very full and fluffy. Yes, they shed. Feather boas do that. But it wasn't too bad and they made the costumes look great. We'd definitely order from this company again.
