Sequin Elegant Arabic Evening Dresses

فساتين سهرة راقية ترتر translates roughly to "sequin elegant evening dress". In production terms it is a set of decisions rather than a single garment, which is exactly why it is worth specifying properly before the sample is cut.

In production these are sequin evening dresses in the elegant direction. Sequin fabric is a mesh base with the sequin applied, so it has a direction and a nap. Every panel must be cut the same way, and every seam has to be taped or it will ladder. A sheath evening dress is straight and close, with a walking vent at the back and a lining that has to be cut a few millimetres shorter than the shell so it does not hang below the hem.

Elegant usually means restraint at the neckline and length at the hem, with the money spent on the fabric and the bodice construction rather than on surface decoration.

What Has To Be Specified

• Shell: Sequin, hand and weight approved on a physical swatch - imported evening cloth rarely matches a screen.
• Block: Sheath bodice, fitted on a real model at the middle size before grading.
• Colour: name the exact tone and send a swatch. In this category a photo is not a colour reference.
• Bodice structure: say whether the bodice is boned, fused, or soft. This single line decides the fit, the price and the packing.
• Lining: state bodice lining, skirt lining and whether the skirt is bagged out at the hem.
• Closure: name the type and position - invisible zip, lace-up back, or covered button placket.
• Sizing: give the size run, the grade rule and the fit model. A Gulf 2XL is not a European 2XL.
• Care: dry-clean-only is normal here; if the trim cannot survive solvent, say so before the label is printed.

Beading is quoted per panel and bought per gram. A 15% allowance sounds generous until the third size run lands.

Grading is where the money disappears: every detail placed by eye on the sample has to be measured on the pattern, or the size run drifts.

Options We Can Build To

• Closure: invisible zip, exposed zip, corset lace-up or button placket, each with its own sample requirement.
• Shell swap: the same block in a lighter or heavier version of the base cloth, priced separately.
• Beading: hand-applied, machine-guided, or replaced with embroidery at a lower density and a lower price.
• Closure: invisible zip, exposed zip, corset lace-up or button placket, each with its own sample requirement.

Pre-production sample approval, in-line inspection during cutting, beading and sewing, and a final AQL inspection before packing, with measurement reports and photos shared before shipment.
