Feathers

Decorative feathers are usually bought for a specific occasion — a ball, a photo shoot, a performance or a carnival costume. We stock them in several forms and many colours, by the piece and in bunches.

Types of feathers

Single feathers — longer and shorter, in natural and dyed colours. Used in arrangements, hats, headbands and table decorations.

Feather trim on tape is sewn onto a tape and sold by the metre. It is the most convenient option for finishing a dress hem, sleeves or the edge of a bolero — the tape is simply stitched on like binding.

Boas and bunches — ready-made boas for costumes and photo shoots, plus bunches of feathers for your own floral and decorative arrangements.

What they are used for

  • Carnival and theatre costumes — outfits, headpieces.
  • Occasion decorations — balls, weddings, photo shoots.
  • Millinery — hats, fascinators, headbands.
  • Floristry — decorative bouquets and arrangements.

How to choose

  • For clothing choose feather trim on tape. Sewing on individual feathers is laborious and less durable.
  • Check the colour is consistent. Dyed feathers can vary in shade between bunches.
  • Allow extra length. When finishing a dress hem, add at least 15%.
  • Feathers do not survive washing. Spot-clean feathered garments or use a dry cleaner.
