Sequin & Beaded

Yes. Beaded mesh, sequin lace, and embellished tulle are often used for bridal bodices, sleeves, overlays, trains, and reception dresses.

Choose beaded fabric according to the base material, embellishment weight, drape and intended use. Beaded mesh works well for sheer overlays, sleeves and fitted panels, while beaded lace adds more defined pattern and bridal detail. Beaded velvet has a heavier, richer hand for eveningwear and statement garments. For white or ivory bridal projects, compare the fabric against the lining and other materials because bead, sequin and base colors can appear different under light. Heavier embellishment may also require additional lining or structural support.

Sheer beaded fabric usually combines beads, pearls, sequins or embroidery with a transparent mesh or net base. It is commonly used for gown overlays, sleeves, bodices, bridal details and couture panels where the embellishment should appear light and dimensional. Depending on the design, a lining may be needed for coverage and comfort.

Reversible or double-sided sequin fabric uses sequins that can be brushed or flipped to reveal a different color or finish. It is often used for statement dresses, performance costumes, partywear and decorative projects where a changing surface effect is desired. Check the backing, sequin density and fabric weight before choosing it for fitted or flowing garments.
