A Familiar Sequence Through Time: It's The Continued Popularity Of The Sequin Dress
Sequins have been around for centuries. Designed to add a bit of sparkle to garments by catching the light and reflecting it back, they were primarily used for kings and queens. However, traveling gypsies were also seen in sequin dresses and tunics and they even used sequins made from gold coins rolled flat.
Through the ages sequins have been made from mother of pearl, metal, crystal, celluloid and plastic. In the 1940s some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to use gelatine to make sequins…but this quickly became a monumental fashion faux pas as gelatine sequins didn't do very well in heated situations. No, not royal arguments or lover's tiffs – but literally the heat of an iron! And also water.
Despite this, sequins are still extremely fashionable and sequin dresses uk-style have never been more popular as can be by the following selection:
