Gelatine Sequins

[Circa Vintage Clothing]

Thank you: it looks good. I'll grab one for the range.

Sounds terrible!! Poor shrivelled sequins!!

My dress was definitely pre war. The sequins were sticky to 'wet' touch which I have always taken to mean gelatin.

Yup, if they are sticky, they're gelatin!

Thanks ladies, it's what I suspected. The dress is clean, but I wanted to write care instructions. And it's sleeveless, so I can't recommend underarm shields. Looks like a good deodorant and a steady drinking hand are required.

The steadiest of drinks! lol
