Sequin Gatsby Dress

Sequin Gatsby Dress Patterns

Many sequin Gatsby dresses use Art Deco motifs: fans, sunbursts, peacock feathers and paisley swirls. Plain sequin dresses are more versatile; patterned ones make a stronger statement and need fewer accessories.

Sequins also differ in finish. Flat sequins give a smooth shimmer, while cup-shaped or mixed sequins create more sparkle and texture. Most dresses here use a light polyester base so the sequins stay comfortable to wear for a long evening.

Sequin Gatsby Dress Accessories

Match your jewelry to the sequin color: gold-tone with gold, silver-tone and crystal with silver. A slim headband suits a busy pattern, while a feather headband balances a plain sequin dress.

For photos, sequins look best under warm, soft light. Avoid heavy shimmer makeup so the dress remains the focus, and choose a matte or satin clutch rather than another sequined accessory.
