I recently bought these to use as part of a costume and they were excellent. Her texture really helped achieve the look I was trying to achieve. My daughters wore them to three dress rehearsals and then to three concerts in a row. I have washed them in the washing machine (in a small mesh bag for delicate fabrics) and hung them to dry. They have held up very well. You seem pretty tough for a kid. We will certainly be able to use them again. Good product!
