Sequins For More Exclusive Touch

Sequins are beads that come in the shape of disks and are used to embellish fashionable items for attractive purposes. These beads come in diverse colors, sizes, and shapes. Sequins are available in variety of colors such as pastel colors like pink, blue, yellow, orange and red; and also the traditional black and white. Sequins also come in gold, silver and bronze.

Beads and sequins are used to add extra special touches to embroidery projects. You can incorporate them in to your stitches as you are creating embroidery piece. To incorporate beads and sequins in to your embroidery stitches you will need very tiny beads and sequins, look in your local hobby store for seed beads and matching sequins. When attaching something as small as a seed bead to any project you will need to make sure you have a small enough needle, so make sure you purchase a beading needle.

Another method for attaching beads and sequins to embroidery is by using surface embroidery. This is a little more technical than simple sewing the beads and sequins directly onto the fabric. With surface embroidery of any kind the idea is to create a pattern on the top of the fabric, with minimal wastage of thread on the reverse, it can also cover a large area very quickly, where are sewing on individual beads and sequins cannot.

There are many methods of surface embroidery, although for attaching items such as beads and sequins I would recommend trying a crochet method. You simply use a tiny crochet hook to pass the thread though the fabric and when it comes back through, you make the next look and also attach a bead or sequin. This is also known as surface crochet, and can make your embroidery projects very original.

Sequined dresses have been a popular look for a long time. Although sequins are most often associated with glamorous evening gowns reminiscent of beauty pageants, on a shorter dress with a sexy cut they take on a whole new look. Sexy sequined dresses in jewel tones are a great way to make your dress shimmer and shine in the lights of a club or even as you walk down the street. Make the most of the look with a dress that is completely covered in sequins; after all, if you are going to do sequins, you might as well go for it all the way!

Rhinestones are another great choice for adding some sparkle to your look. Because they tend to be even flashier than sequins, they are usually used as accent details rather than a whole look. Dresses with rhinestones straps, waistbands and belt buckles are a great way to add that glamorous touch without going overboard. Rhinestones are also often used to create a pattern or an image on a dress. This can be anything from the subtle to the very obvious indeed, including designer labels written out in rhinestones. You might also see other words or images like dollar signs, hearts, and even the popular Playboy bunny logo in rhinestone accents on a dress.

Another great way to choose a dress that draws the light and therefore the attention of everyone around you is a metallic fabric. Although the most popular are gold and silver, there is really no reason to be limited to these color choices. Metallic fabrics in deep colors, again usually jewel tones like red, blue and purple are also perfect choices. Metallic fabrics have the advantage of being less stiff than sequins but still give the all-over effect of slinky, sexy light in motion. These fabrics are also very versatile and can be used with all kinds of different cuts and fashions. Because they are light and flexible, they are an excellent choice for dancing the night away and keeping all eyes on you when you’re on the dance floor.

Accessorizing Sequin Outfits With Fashion Jewelry – Five Fun Outfit Ideas

Sequins can quickly become a fashion faux pas if you don’t know how to accessorize them right. Here are five outfit ideas with sequins and ways to wear jewelry with them.

1. Sequin top, blazer and bangles. Your bronze, silver or blue-sequined top can be paired with a grey boyfriend blazer to prevent the sequins from looking overwhelming. Be sure to roll up your sleeves so everyone can see your bangles. This is a perfect daytime and daring work look.

2. Sequin vest on a long shirt and a chunky necklace. Wear your sequin-detailed vest over your shirt to add glitz to your look. Thick-chained necklaces will complement this look very well with a pair of stud earrings. This combination allows your neckline to grab a little more attention.

3. Sequin belts, flowing top and delicate jewelry. A black skirt and light fabric grey top would look gorgeous accessorized with women’s belts featuring black sequins. At the office, a long jacket can conceal the sparkles, but when you hit the bar after work, take off the jacket and let the sequins be the star of the outfit. Pair with delicate fashion jewelry and simple black flats to complement the light weight fabric top and you have a winning outfit.

4. Three-quarter length sleeves, sequin flats & a bracelet. Your shoes can have sequins on them without looking pretentious. The silver or black sequins on your feet can be complemented with a three-quarter length sleeved top that will show off your sequined bracelet! Oversized jewelry is all the rage right now, and for a fun weekend with the girls, your sequin shoes and statement jewelry can make you stand out in a crowd.

5. Skinny jeans, silver chains and a sequined wool coat. Consider mixing sequins with conservative materials like wool in a long jacket paired with dark skinny jeans. Your fashion jewelry in this case should resemble something less chunky, as the sequin-to-jewelry ratio will be higher. Three thin chains around your neck and tear drop earrings are perfect. A thin belt around your waist will help you appear shapely beneath your sequined jacket. Perfect for a romantic date on a chilly evening – this outfit will do all the talking for you.

Are Shiny Fabrics And Sequins For You On Prom Night?

Though in most cases you would think the type of dress you wear would be a personal choice, you also have to take into consideration the venue and the way others at the prom will be dressing. You do not want to be the only person there wearing a dress with a shiny fabric and sequins. In addition many proms today are adapting a less formal attitude about dress, so you want to know before you choose your dress the kind of clothing others will be wearing. Another factor to consider is the way you wear your hair – the simpler the style the simpler your dress should be which tends to eliminate shiny fabrics and sequins.

Another consideration when it comes to wearing shiny fabrics is the venue. If the venue is an informal setting, you may want to consider something less eloquent. Keep in mind that an informal venue can have a decoration in an eloquent and elaborate style, so you want to keep that in mind as well. The choice you make has to consider both the venue and the way the staff decorates it for your prom. On the other hand, some venues automatically scream of elegance and should be treated accordingly. This includes places such as banquet rooms in high-class hotels and restaurants.

Your body shape is something else to consider when you try to decide on whether you should wear a shiny fabric with sequins. Whether you buy a sleek or full style, you want to keep in mind that if you are on the heavy side a shiny dress is going to draw attention to your fuller bust and abdominal area when you really want to take the focus off those areas. You may be able to choose one or the other but you do not want to include both and draw attention to those features that are less than perfect. Thus, a full gown in a shiny fabric is acceptable but you want to leave off the sequins or wear sequins on a gown of a different fabric.

The key to looking good at your prom is choosing fabrics that will accentuate the shape of your body and face. Not everyone has the body to wear a shiny fabric with sequins just like not everyone has the body to wear a gown that is completely straight. The choices you make will determine if you looking stunning or drab at your prom, so you want to make sure you give a great deal of thought to the fabric, styling and color of the dress you choose. Whether you choose ankle length or knee length, you want something that looks stunning when you walk into the room.
