The durability and drape of a sequin garment depend 20% on the sequins and 80% on the mesh base**. As a specialized manufacturer, **Yunfan Textile often sees sourcing errors where a premium sequin is paired with a substandard base, leading to "sagging" or tearing.

1. Nylon vs. Polyester Mesh

  • Polyester Mesh: The industry standard for stability. It has low moisture absorption and high tensile strength (ASTM D5034). Best for evening gowns and heavy 3D embroidery.
  • Nylon Mesh: Softer to the touch with better "recovery." Best for lingerie-inspired sequins and high-end couture where skin comfort is paramount.

    • 2. Understanding Stretch Factors

  • Non-Stretch Mesh: Essential for structured decor, tablecloths, and curtains. It prevents pattern distortion.
  • 4-Way Stretch Power Mesh: Required for body-con dresses, performance wear, and dancewear. Our 4-way mesh uses high-tenacity spandex to ensure it doesn't "stretch out" after three washes.

    • 3. GSM and Weight Loading

    A common mistake is using a 40 GSM mesh for 5mm heavy sequins. This leads to "puckering." We recommend:

  • Micro-sequins (2mm-3mm): 45-60 GSM base.
  • Heavy/Large Sequins (5mm+): 80-120 GSM reinforced base.
