I didn't exactly use this hip shawl the way it was intended - instead of my hips, I decorated a hat! And considering what else was on the hat, I was a little nervous that the shawl might be too fragile to survive to performance night. But it held on like a trouper, looked absolutely fab (lots and lots of sparkle) and still looks new, even after I snipped the threads holding it onto the hat. It may look fragile, but it's pretty tough considering what I put it through.
