RAINBOW AFTERGLOW – RAINBOW STRIPE SEQUIN MESH FABRIC – 128cm SEQUIN WIDTH / 155cm FULL WIDTH

A spectacular rainbow sequin fabric covered in shimmering horizontal bands of pink, purple, blue, teal and golden tones.

Rainbow Afterglow is one of those fabrics that completely changes as it moves. The densely sequinned surface catches and reflects the light beautifully, creating a dazzling multicoloured finish with rich bands of colour flowing across the fabric.

The rainbow design moves through vibrant pinks and berry tones into purple, cool blue and teal before warming into glowing gold and bronze shades. The combination of colour and sparkle gives this fabric a wonderfully dramatic, almost iridescent appearance.

The sequinned design covers approximately 128cm of the fabric width, with the full mesh measuring approximately 155cm from selvedge to selvedge.

At approximately 159gsm across the full fabric width, this is a medium weight sequin mesh with plenty of sparkle and movement, making it ideal for statement clothing, costumes, dancewear, stagewear and dramatic creative projects.

New To Sequin Fabrics?

Sequin fabrics are designed to create texture, sparkle and dramatic movement.

Sequins are attached to a fabric base, often mesh, creating a highly decorative surface that reflects light as the fabric moves.

When sewing with sequins, it can be helpful to remove individual sequins from the seam allowance before stitching. This reduces bulk and helps protect your sewing machine needle.

Depending on the project, a lining may also be useful for comfort and to create a clean professional finish.

Sequin fabrics are particularly popular for evening wear, costumes, dancewear, stage clothing and statement creative projects.
