Sequined Fabrics
3 products
Sequined fabric from £3.99 a metre — sequins stitched to a backing cloth for costume, dancewear and occasion pieces.
Base netting, knit fabrics and sequin sizes
Sequined fabrics consist of decorative discs fixed to a flexible backing. In this range, sequins are set onto either dress net or a lightweight knitted base, made from a 50% nylon and 50% polyester blend at approximately 100gsm. When planning a project, consider the scale of the disc: smaller 3mm sequins create a dense, uniform shimmer across the cloth, whereas 6mm sequins provide a larger reflective surface with more distinct individual discs.
Uses across dressmaking, dancewear and crafts
Because the finish catches the light as the fabric moves, it is practical for items intended for performance or evening events. Common uses include:
- Dancewear, stage costumes and formal dressmaking
- Wedding pieces and event wear overlays
- Cushions and decorative home furnishing accents
- Arts, crafts and creative textile projects
Widths and construction options
The collection includes cuts measuring 112cm wide as well as broader 150cm (59 inch) options. Pieces with a knitted base feature glued-on sequins, which keeps the handle lightweight and suitable for cutting into panels, decorative trims or tailored garments. Where an open, translucent look is preferred, net-backed options provide a sheer ground that drapes cleanly over contrasting lining materials.
