"A river of liver and an ocean of fish!"

I give up.
The feathers are so fucking unmanageable - I can't glue them, specially as I want to be able to wear the dress after this! I also can't stick them on with anything else, as nothing appears to stick to them, and I've been trying to sew them the whole morning. You can't sew them, because they won't stay, and there are now feathers everywhere. Including my bronchial tubes. I've been constantly coughing since midday.
So, I don't know what to do. I'm half inclined to rip what's left of the feathers off the dress, get a piece of card, write "Raven - a Taur'ri" on it, and hang it around my neck on a piece of string.
Suggestions, please!
Also - I don't feel so brilliant at present. Perhaps I'm allergic to black acrylic feathers, but that's not the point. I think I might faint - it's happened before - and there's no-one here but me, so no-one will know if I do, and I'm more than a little worried about it.

The dress is quite long, with no sleeves and a hood. I think I'll go with that suggestion - sewing the feathers around the hem of the dress, and probably around the top of the hood, too.
The feather boa isn't in hundreds of pieces - it's in three pieces, so I think I might just be able to manage without too much carnage...

My hair is going to be loose, I think, and I'll put all the feathers in that have fallen off in transport.

I wish you were coming too, and thanks for all your help...
