YES, poppets. A mirror dress is ALL those things. But let’s throw around a few more appropriate adjectives.
Astounding. Incredible. Over the Top. Beautiful. Eye burning catching.
Yours Truly, the Queen of All Things Bling, was bowled OVER the first time she squinted at a mirror dress.
And not a lot bowls Miss Cee over.
But mirror dresses did the job because they take bling to the NEXT level. And beyond.
Now kids, mirror dresses are not made of tiny pieces of cut up mirrors. The edges would be too sharp and life threatening for that. Not mention the dress would weigh a TON.
Instead reflective acrylic pieces are used. These come in a variety of colors and are also very light.
The acrylics can be easily cut into any shape AND can also be drilled.
Why?
Because the normal method of attaching reflective acrylics to a dress is with needle and thread. And this can only be done if you drill miniscule holes in the corners of the acrylic pieces first.
If the acrylic mirrors are small enough, a strong fabric glue can be used instead.
When they first appeared a couple years ago, mirror dresses were mainly in silver and on long women’s gowns.
These days however you’ll find truly inventive and creative patterns, colors and styles used for mirror FASHION.
Which is news to thrill EVERY Glitterist.
Because it means the concept of BIG bling from mirror dresses is now on everything from bags to men’s suit coats.
Here at the SequinQueen Sparkling Life Magazine we scoured the Internet like the slathering, bling obsessed devotees we are to bring you some of the shiniest of shiny mirror dress examples, below.
Well, Min scoured. Yours Truly supervised, chickadees.
