Big Feather Boa

This big feather boa is thick and heavy, made from about 200 grams of dyed turkey feathers on a strand roughly 2 yards long. That weight is what sets it apart from thinner boas: it looks dense and fluffy from every angle, which matters on stage, in photos and at a burlesque show. It comes in solid shades and in two-tone mixes.

Why the Weight of a Feather Boa Matters

Weight tells you how many feathers are packed onto the strand. Light boas look sparse and show the cord underneath; a 200 gram boa looks full and soft even when it is draped loosely. That makes it the better choice for performers and for anyone who wants the boa to be the center of their costume.

Ways to Use a Big Turkey Feather Boa

Wear it around the shoulders with a flapper dress, wrap it around a microphone stand, or use it to dress a photo booth, a wedding arch or a party table. Crafters also cut boas into lengths to trim costumes and hats. More colors and styles are in our feather boas.
