Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How Do I Wash And Care For A Sequin Dress?
A: Most sequin dresses cannot just be thrown into the washer and dryer with the rest of your clothes, so you will need to learn to care for a dress of this style before you wear it. It’s always important to read the care instructions from the manufacturer before you wash your clothes, as they will know the best cleaning routine. However, most sequin dresses can be (and need to be) hand washed. You will more than likely need to hand wash your sequin dress in a sink or bath tub with cold water and a mild laundry detergent, and hang it up to dry.
Q: How Can I Avoid Irritation Caused By The Sequins While Wearing A Sequin Dress?
A: Unfortunately, most sequin dresses will end up causing some irritation where they rub against your skin. This is because sequins are made of a hard plastic, and they often have sharp edges. No matter the quality of the dress you choose, the sequins will be far from soothing to your skin. There are a few ways to avoid irritation so that you can wear your sparkling dress comfortably. The easiest thing to do is spray on a liquid bandage, or rub on a chaffing stick, to the part of your body that rubs against the dress (most likely your upper arms). Alternatively, you could get your dress professionally altered and have the sequins removed in the places where your arms will rub.
All in all, sequin dresses are a stunning fashion choice for a wide variety of events. Whether you’re looking for the perfect piece for a night on the town or the dress your bridesmaids will wear in your wedding, one of the beautiful dresses above is sure to be the perfect fit.
