I sure have missed alot in the last week!...
I am creating a peacock costume this year....I have a long satin teal skirt but I want to create a "tail" with feathers. It will be a down peacock tail...so I was thinking of attaching the feathers to some type of long apron....but a new idea would be over-lapping 3 or 4 layers of tulle and attaching to that. Would the tulle be strong enough to hold the feathers and not lose shape?
Any better ideas? I am looking for limited sewing so I thought the tulle might be a good option but I have no experience on what it can and can not handle. Is there a better fabric with no sew option?

I think the tulle would be strong enough. Search your local fabric store and look for stiff tulle. I would also ask the staff there. Sometimes they have really great solutions to problems.
Looks like a neat costume
