The Art of Accessorising Sequins: The Story Behind Mimi

The art of accessorising sequins is all about balance. A little sparkle, a considered accessory and a silhouette that speaks for itself. Meet the Mimi Hand Beaded Gown, one of Montique's most-loved designs, celebrated for its intricate embellishments, flattering silhouette and timeless elegance. Our founder and designer, Leisa French, takes us back to where it all began.

How Do You Accessorise a Sequin Dress?

The secret? Let the sparkle do the talking. Pair a hand-beaded or sequin gown with sculptural earrings, delicate metallic jewellery or a statement cuff for a refined finish. Whether dressing for a wedding, black-tie event or formal celebration, the right accessories elevate an embellished gown without overpowering it.

The Perfect Mother of the Bride or Groom Gown

Designed for life's most memorable occasions, Mimi combines intricate hand-beaded detailing, adjustable straps and a fluid silhouette that catches the light beautifully. A timeless choice for mother of the bride dresses, mother of the groom outfits and formal wedding guest attire, Mimi returns in elegant new colourways, including Mink.

Watch our founder and designer, Leisa French, share the story behind Mimi and her expert tips on styling sequins and accessorising embellished gowns.

How Do You Care for a Hand-Beaded or Sequin Dress?

A little care goes a long way in preserving the sparkle. Always follow the garment's care label, avoid excessive friction and store your hand-beaded gown in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight. For cleaning, seek a professional experienced in delicate embellishments. With the right care, your favourite sequin gown can remain a treasured part of your occasion wardrobe for years to come.

Explore Montique's collection of hand-beaded gowns and sequin dresses, where intricate craftsmanship meets modern occasion dressing. From elegant mother of the bride and groom gowns to statement evening wear, find a little sparkle for every special occasion.
