A sequin ball gown works because you are committing to the moment and the sequins commit with you. The sequins catch light and create visual interest and the gown silhouette means the sequins are part of the proportions and not just decoration. Sequin ball gowns read as fun without being silly and they photograph spectacularly under any lighting. The key is finding one where the sequins are quality enough to hold up through wearing and dancing. We prefer sequins that are sewn rather than glued and colors that photograph well under flash. A sequin ball gown is the dress that makes you feel like the moment you are at is as important as you know it is.
