Consider the Style of Dance

For Latin dances, where vibrant and dramatic movements are common, bold, colorful crystals that highlight movement work well. For ballroom, you might opt for a more classic, elegant look with AB or clear crystals.

Crystal Size

Larger crystals can be used to highlight key areas of the dress (like the neckline or waist), while smaller crystals work well for all-over sparkle. SS20, SS30, and SS34 sizes are popular for focal points, while smaller sizes like SS10 and SS12 are great for detail work.

Placement for Maximum Effect

Place crystals on areas that catch the light most, such as the hemline, bodice, shoulders, and sleeves, to enhance movement and sparkle.

Using high-quality crystals, strategically placed, can make your custom-made dance dress dazzling under stage lights, highlighting every turn and movement.
