I hope your welts heal quickly.&nbsp;I don't have anything with sequins, but if I put on a top with angora I'm itching within seconds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101536 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 16:21:25 +0000 Mo 1101536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yep, I have a sequin striped tank that gets my inside arm by the armpit. &nbsp;It's minor, and I only wear it on rare occasions, so I deal with it. &nbsp;But I would not buy sequins again that are likely to be in a place that rubs. &nbsp;I also would worry about them coming off where I would sit on them so I've never looked at bottoms with sequins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101531 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 16:16:43 +0000 Ariadne 1101531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all packed up and ready to be returned--I only tried it on for a couple of minutes,&nbsp;so no worries about that. &nbsp;</p> <p>Adelfa, my arms got sliced up just from resting at my sides against the skirt&nbsp;while standing normally. &nbsp;I had a tank top on and the bare skin brushed against the sequins. &nbsp;</p> <p>Canada's BR site doesn't have reviews. &nbsp;I might send them an email, though. &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz,&nbsp;<i>&nbsp;</i>I remember talking about that with you! &nbsp;I think a sequinned front panel or a top with sleeves would be what I'd need, too.</p> <p>I got some lovely coated burgundy moto skinnies in the same order, so I'll wear those and last year's black lace-front pullover for the holidays. &nbsp;Much more practical anyway, since I'll be spending most of the time sitting on the floor with my daughters. &nbsp;I want to find a blingy necklace to add some sparkle, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101496 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 15:19:24 +0000 Krista 1101496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sequined top that I have to wear with a cardigan because I find the sequins itchy on my arms, but as a result, the sequins have shredded the inside of my cardigan. &nbsp;So, I hear ya on the sequins. &nbsp;Festive, but lots of risks involved. &nbsp;So strange to have to say that about something so pretty.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101477 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 14:02:35 +0000 Suz 1101477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember you mentioned that top last year when we met and I have hesitated about buying anything sequinned ever since! Then I realized that the only things I own with sequins only have a sequinned front panel (or are dotted with sequins on the front). I guess the risks are reduced in that case.&nbsp;I can easily imagine how this can happen with an all-over sequinned garment. How incredibly frustrating and disappointing. &nbsp;I hate it when the planned holiday capsule doesn't work out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101468 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 13:29:58 +0000 pastrygirl 1101468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I can't wear sequins...I keep trying, it's always itchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101406 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 07:28:59 +0000 LoveSarahDub 1101406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I HATE when this sort of thing happens I love sequins but they can be quite troublesome, from falling off to causing irritation. Normally, I'd suggest the 'grin and bear it' approach, but for it to happen that quickly is just NOT worth the trouble. I tend to have the same problem with sparkly sweaters: I always think I love them but I'm clawing my skin off within ten minutes. Yuck!</p> <p>It is GORGEOUS, though! Sigh.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101399 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 06:48:32 +0000 Gigi 1101399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You poor thing! I would definitely contact BR. You should be able to get your money back--even 50% off was still not cheap. I would think that if you explained what happened, they would be concerned about getting sued or something and would happily refund your money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101390 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 06:14:54 +0000 CocoLion 1101390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!!! &nbsp;I have a sequin jacket from Zara and it's never caused an itch. &nbsp;Maybe the pyramid structure contributes to the pain? &nbsp;Is this something you could return? &nbsp;Clothes should not bring on allergic reactions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101384 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 05:30:49 +0000 Adelfa 1101384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Incredibly gorgeous skirt. I'm having trouble picturing how your forearms got sliced from wearing a skirt? Was it from putting it on? But anyway, that should never happen! So sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101381 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 05:27:17 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1101381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only with a strapless sequinned gown I wore to a formal event in college - but it was after 5 or 6 hours of wear! &nbsp;If you're all cut up within 30 seconds, you should go review that skirt so people are warned that those are some serious meat-slicing sequins. &nbsp;I would also gently wash those little welts well with soap and water and then reapply the cream.</p> <p>It is a gorgeous skirt, though. &nbsp; I'm sorry it didn't work out &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-sequins-attack#post-1101376 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 05:08:25 +0000 Ariadne 1101376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this gorgeous skirt with a 50% off code to try for the holidays:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?pid=931909">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....pid=931909</a>&nbsp; It's stunning in real life and it looked great with a pullover and opaque black tights, but within a few seconds of putting it on, my inner forearms were covered in dozens of&nbsp;tiny, unbearably itchy welts. &nbsp;It took me a little while to realize they were tiny scratches from the sequins! &nbsp;I had to slather myself in anti-itch cream all day long. &nbsp;I've tried on sequined tanks that irritated my inner arms to the point of unwearability before, but this was a whole other level of pain. So sad. &nbsp;Goodbye, beautiful evil skirt.&nbsp;Has anyone else had this happen with sequins before? &nbsp; </p>
