What Is Sequin Fabric? Sparkle and Elegance by the Metre

Table of Contents

    Sequin fabric, often known as payet fabric, is one of the most glamorous materials in fashion and design. Whether you’re creating an evening dress, stage costume, or a stylish top, sequin fabrics instantly add sparkle and elegance.

    At Whotex London, we offer a wide range of sequin fabrics by the metre — from stretch sequin mesh to luxury embroidered options.


    👗 What Is Sequin Fabric?

    Sequin fabric is made by sewing or embroidering small shiny discs (sequins) onto a base material such as tulle, mesh, or satin. The reflective surface creates a stunning light effect that makes the fabric perfect for special occasions.


    🌟 Types of Sequin Fabrics

    • Stretch Sequin Mesh: Perfect for fitted dresses and tops.

    • Two-Tone Reversible Sequin: Flip the sequins for a colour-changing look.

    • Embroidered Sequin Fabric: Adds a touch of luxury for couture pieces.

    • Sequin Velvet: Ideal for high-end coats and blazers.

    🧵 How to Sew Sequin Fabric

    Working with sequins requires a few careful steps:

    1. Use a sharp needle (size 90/14 or 100/16).

    2. Sew slowly to avoid breaking sequins.

    3. Line the inside for comfort.

    4. Cut using the reverse side to protect sequins.
