Your Metallic Dress Questions, Answered

1. What is the difference between metallic and sequin dresses?
A metallic dress gets its shine from the fabric itself, which has metallic threads woven into it for a smooth, liquid-like glow. A sequin dress gets its sparkle from thousands of individual embellishments sewn onto the fabric for a more textured, high-impact look.

2. Are metallic dresses comfortable?
Yes! Modern metallic fabrics, especially stretch jersey, are designed to be soft, breathable, and comfortable, allowing you to get a stunning, body-hugging fit without sacrificing comfort.

3. How do I find my size in a Metallic Dress?
The fit will depend on the silhouette. We strongly recommend using our official measurement guide. After you order, our stylists will personally contact you to discuss the fit and your measurements against the designer's specific chart.
