EL Wire lights in a fursuit?

Alrighty, so I have a Barkshark that needs to light up. Cool, awesome! But I've never done this before D: I've done a bit of earching and I came across this really cool material called EL wire. Has any one used this before? Would it light up nice and bright behind a layer of fur?

Here's the design: http://i.imgur.com/dCqvkfu.jpg (Yes, All the circuits need to light up :'D)

I do plan on purchasing a few different rope type lights but this one seems the most promising since it doesn't heat up and is actually meant to be worn. But what about washing the suit? This has me worried since once I get all of the lights in place, I'll have to sew them in place so they won't be removable. Is dry cleaning an option? I've actually never had anything dry cleaned before but as the name suggests, am I assuming that it IS an option?

Let me know what you think! I'd love to know if you've worked with this stuff or have a better alternative. Thanks!
