Glitter Fabric Versus Glitter Application
Glitter fabric has the sparkle baked into the material itself rather than applied on top. You're looking at fabric where metallic or iridescent particles are part of the fiber structure, which means the sparkle doesn't shed or flake off like surface glitter can. These Rachel Allan designs in lavender, turquoise, and pink show how glitter fabric performs in fitted silhouettes with the strategic cutout details at the waist.
The fabric has enough structure to hold those side cutout shapes without gaping or pulling. Glitter fabric often includes some mesh or knit backing that gives it stretch, which you need for a fitted bodice that actually stays in place. The bow detail at the hip on each gown provides a visual break from all that sparkle and creates a focal point that isn't about the glitter itself.
Sparkle That Photographs True
Glitter fabric reads consistently in photos because the sparkle comes from the fabric weave rather than surface embellishments that might catch light unpredictably. These gowns will look sparkly in photos from any angle, which isn't always true of sequined or beaded dresses that need specific lighting to show their best.
The fitted mermaid silhouette across this collection works with glitter fabric's tendency to cling. You want material that's going to stay smooth against your body rather than buckling or wrinkling, and glitter fabric with its slight stretch delivers that. The thin straps and plunging neckline keep the look balanced. When you've got allover sparkle, you don't need complicated neckline construction competing for attention.
