Rachel Allan Curves Sequin Tulle Dresses
Sequin tulle creates sparkle that appears suspended in space rather than sitting heavily against the body, an optical quality that flatters fuller figures beautifully. The sheer mesh allows sequins to catch light without the visual weight of sequins on opaque fabric. Rachel Allan Curves layers this material strategically, building coverage through multiple tulle layers while sequins at varying depths create dimensional sparkle. The transparency prevents the embellishment from reading as a flat, heavy surface, instead producing sparkle with airiness that enhances rather than overwhelms curvier silhouettes.
Layered Coverage Strategy
Building sufficient opacity with sequin tulle on plus size figures requires thoughtful layering. Rachel Allan Curves stacks multiple layers where coverage matters while using fewer layers in areas where sheerness serves the design. Each layer contributes both sparkle and modest coverage without the bulk of lined, opaque sequined fabrics. The result is gowns that feel secure and substantial while maintaining the lightweight quality that makes tulle comfortable for extended wear on fuller bodies.
Flexible Sparkle Application
Sequins on tulle move more freely than sequins on rigid fabrics, allowing the embellishment to conform to curves rather than fighting against them. The mesh base provides slight give that accommodates fuller proportions comfortably while maintaining sparkle distribution. This flexibility prevents the stiffness and restriction that can happen when heavy sequin work is applied to non-stretch materials, making sequin tulle more wearable for curvier figures who need both glamour and comfort.
Breathability With Brilliance
The mesh structure of tulle allows air circulation even when sequins cover significant surface area. Heat escapes through the netting while the sparkle creates visual impact, making sequin tulle practical for all-night wear despite its formal embellishment. This breathability matters particularly for fuller figures where temperature regulation in formal wear can be challenging. Rachel Allan Curves exploits this property to create heavily sparkled designs that remain comfortable rather than suffocating.
