If you touch this, it will shed. It worked out for the night I wore it to a wedding, but only because my dress wouldn't have shown the shedding fibers and falling sequins. It has left a small trail in my house though - any time I've handled it. Also - it is delicate and I ruined a bit of the end while struggling to cut off the white tag. There wasn't enough gap to get the stitches out safely. Looked nice, but not to be trusted to not leave an embarassing mess depending on the rest of your apparel.
