Definition: A feather boa is a fashion accessory that is usually wrapped around the neck like a scarf.
A boa may be made of fur but is usually made from various types of feather: Ostrich, Marabou, Chandelle and Turkey are the most common feathers although cruelty free boas are also available. Feathers used to go through bleaching and/or dyeing processes and are glued and stitched into lengths called 'ply'. Sometimes more natural boas are produced. A lightweight chandelle boa may weigh only 65g while a 24 ply ostrich boa may weigh 200g. The more ply, the fluffier and thicker the boa. Boas are generally measured by weight (grammes), length and ply. Boas are available through novely, costume or lingerie shops.
