Sequins are classified into four main types: Matte sequins, Hologram sequins, Pearl sequins, and Coated sequins. Coated sequins look very similar to matte sequins but, whereas you can safely wash garments decorated with matte sequins, color coating applied only to the surface of a sequin tends to eventually wear out on frequently washed garments. A skillful designer knows that these little flakes can complete the look of the garment and turn a boring dress into a fabulous masterpiece. Don’t forget that less is more though.
