You would have to sit very carefully! I had a dress with those plastic circles on it and I was always breaking some off when I went to sit. I think I saw a photo of a model wearing that skirt on the runaway. I was looking for a prom dress and saw one with a few peacock feathers but it was one of those dresses with the ruffles at the bottom and I didn't like it. I am still tempted to make maybe a vest or something with peafowl feathers.
