Make sure that the boas are wrapped with a few spare inches in each parallel, so that the costume can be filled with batting. Meanwhile, spiral the boas as closely as you can to each other so that you can get full coverage in your costume. For a more durable costume, sew the feather boas to the leotard.
Once attached, the wool batting will keep the comb stiff. Tuck more into the comb before you finish sewing if it falls to the side.
Allow the gloved shoes to dry overnight. Avoid gluing the rubber to your shoe, so that you can dismantle the costume later on.
