Sequin and Paillettes - A small, shiny disk sewn as one of many onto clothing for decoration. and  Paillettes are larger, round sequins with a hole in the top, so they may be attached in a way that allows them to dangle from the piece
(this helps create a “fish scale” look by hiding the stitching which secures them to the ground fabric).



Spangle – contemporary – used almost interchangeably for sequins which come in two styles – flat and cupped.

Raschel knit- A type of warp knitting in which yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric.

Warp knitting comprises several types of knitted fabrics, including tricot, raschel knits, and milanese knits. All warp-knit fabrics are resistant to runs and relatively easy to sew.

Tricot is very common in lingerie. (lace )






Milanese is stronger, more stable, smoother and more expensive than tricot and, hence, is used in better lingerie. Milanese is now virtually obsolete.

Raschel knits do not stretch significantly and are often bulky; consequently, they are often used as an unlined material for coats, jackets, straight skirts and dresses. Raschel knits have a lacelike, open construction, with a heavy, textured yarn held in place by a much finer yarn
