Properties:

Texture: This quality power mesh-backed sequin fabric is cleverly created by stitching rows of interlocking gloss sequins onto a soft stretch mesh base fabric. There are selvedges of 12 + 13cm on the linear edges, which are excellent for utilising areas where you may wish to customise or for hems. Lightly textured with a characteristic classic small sequin feel on the face side. Less textured on the fine stretch mesh reverse. Clear nylon thread attaches the sequins on the face and fine black acrylic yarn on the reverse.

Handle: Boasts 30 - 40% retentive stretch to the width. None to the sequined areas down the length.

Drape: A medium/heavy drape with a slinky quality.

Garment Suggestions:

Types: Imagine creating sheath-like dresses and slinky maxi skirts from Black Diamonds. We are talking seriously stylish here... this is not fancy dress sequins.

Create full-length figure-skimming dresses for proms, red-carpet events, dance wear, Cosplay, and carnival costumes. Combine with lycra, interlock, scuba, or silky soft-touch jersey. Create the perfect Great Gatsby dress with swinging fringing and stand out like a precious gem in your creations.

Simple Bomber and kimono-style jackets and shrugs will add a flash of glamour in Black Diamonds, lined with a quality silky soft touch lining fabric, then team with a simple camisole and jeans ensemble.

Other Uses:

Accessories: Create matching headbands, hats, purses and bags.

Furnishings: If luxe glamour isn't for you but you love the sparkle of sequins and luxury around your home, then create statement cushions with Black Diamonds.

Use a plain backing fabric in either velvet or suede for the ideal combination. Sequin fabric cushions are all over the high street and provide added pops of sparkle to otherwise plain decors - perfect for glamorous bedrooms and dressing rooms.

Upcycling: Use your offcuts by attaching them to the panels of an old denim jacket to create a unique, fun conversational piece!
