After looking at a lot of sparkle appliques and consutling with my daughter
(her dress) we ended up ordering rhinestone yardage after all.
We chose a "vine" pattern that is about 1/2 inch wide and $22 per yard from
Glory's House. I must say I'm not impressed with the quality *at all*
There are two places with stones missing - the larger "leaf" stones of the
vine. In three places the flexibility and continuity of the pattern are
interrupted by faults or defects. I also don't recall anything in the
description that would indicate that it would be made almost entirely from
plastic.
(note: I did go back and read this in the description "The leaf pedals [sic]
are high quality acrylic and the rhinestones are glass. This is a very
flexible metal back applique." however I have my doubts that any of it is
glass or metal except for the very fine chain along the back)
I'm going to tack it in place and see how it looks from normal viewing
distance, but it makes me leery of buying notions like this sight-unseen in
the future.
