Gold Sequin Evening Dress

When the invitation says formal, a gold sequin evening dress answers it, and this one runs from a bow at the neckline down to the floor in a fitted mermaid line covered with Art Deco beading. The supplier calls it an apricot gold color, so expect a warm, peachy gold tone; the photos show it best. Compare other formal gowns in our sequin flapper dresses.

Evenings Made for a Gold Sequin Dress

Gold sequins belong to the biggest nights of the year: a New Year's Eve gala, a 1920s-themed prom, an anniversary dinner or a charity ball. Warm lighting brings out the beadwork, and the geometric bands catch the light differently as you move. As a wedding guest, read the dress code first, since a pale gold color can come close to the bride's colors.

Getting the Mermaid Dress Fit Right

The dress hugs the body to the knee and then flares, so measure bust, waist and hips and compare all three with the size chart on this page. If your hips fall in a larger size than your bust, go with the larger one. Try it on with the heels you will wear on the night to judge where the hem lands.

Gold Sequin Dress FAQ

What shoes go with an apricot gold dress?

Nude, champagne or metallic heels blend with the warm tone. Strappy sandals suit prom; closed pumps suit a winter gala.

Is it a true flapper dress?

Not in shape. The Art Deco beading is inspired by the 1920s, but the fitted mermaid cut is modern evening wear, a good choice for formal events with a Gatsby theme.

Which hairstyle works with it?

A low chignon or soft side-swept waves keep the bow at the neckline visible. A slim gold-tone hair clip is plenty.
