Parents, January 2000. Advice Kits Competition season can be nerve wrecking, especially for new team members. You've spent all that money on uniforms embellished in sequins and suddenly, you realize that some of the uniforms don't look quite as flashy as the others. The secret is in how you care for the sequins. Here are some quick tips on sequin care.
Heat causes sequins to melt and curl in.
Never press sequin trim. Protect sequins form coming into contact with perfume, deodorant or hair spray. If exposed to any of these elements, the sequin could become tranished and the brillian color may be irreparably damaged. Do not dry clean sequin fabrics. The solution used at the dry cleaners causes the individual cups to curl and tarnish.
