They do look very realistic.  Do you dye them or use naturally coloured fleece? (the stuff I have is white).  Did you also make the dress?  I wish I had the figure to look good in a design like that  :(   I would probably just trail the sleeves in my soup though  ::)

I sewed them on to the ends of my real dreads and then dyed them with l'oreal or some such ;D
I had the dress made and also wish I still had the figure to fit into it :(
I think I shall pin this pic to my fridge ;D

Great news Sally, I hope (and expect) they're as friendly and helpful as the folks at the two Guilds near me.
