Dress the Population

Most styles are cut close through the bodice and waist, with a stretch knit lining and internal seaming doing the shaping rather than the outer fabric. Sizes follow the US scale. Even the heavily embellished pieces tend to have give in them, because the sequin is usually set on a stretch mesh or knit ground rather than a rigid woven one — but a close cut is still a close cut, so comparing the garment measurements on the listing against a dress you already own is the surest route to the right size.

Care varies by style, so the label sewn into the garment is the only authority. Many of the sequin styles are marked hand wash cold, inside out and laid flat to dry, with dry cleaning allowed as an alternative; some of the more delicate lace and metallic pieces are dry clean only. The general principle holds either way: sequins are stitched to a base cloth and heat is what curls and dulls them, so keep a hot iron off the surface and steam from a distance instead.
