Opinions re distressed look?

[Seahorse]

Im thinking of making something which has raw edge material, ie chiffon that has just been torn into lengths with bits of the weave hanging from it in a raggedy way.

Is this considered an exceptable look or does it make people think it just looks messy?

It depends what it is - any hints forthcoming?

I bracelet, kinda old victoriany looking.

If it's in keeping with the whole thing then it shouldn't be a problem. Gothic is coming back according to my gossip mags so now could be a good time to try it out!
