It is also commonly referred to as ‘sequence fabric.’ Sequins vary in size, shape and colour. They can be glossy or matt, reversible or one-side. The most popular backing fabrics include tulle or chiffon.

Designers use two variations: All-over sequin embroideries (which can get quite heavy) and random sequins stitched on tulle, lace, silk and more.
These shiny pieces can accentuate some areas or outline the entire pattern of the fabric. Another way to categorise sequin fabrics is by the shape of the sequin. Originally, all sequins were round and looked like coins (in fact, the term comes from the Arabic word ‘sikka’ which stands for ‘coin’).
Women attached them to their skirts, dresses and blouses as a sym- bol of wealth. Nowadays, you’ll be amazed by the variety of shapes available on the market. Modern sequins are usually made of plastic, and there are literally dozens of geometrical shapes to choose from.
