Yes. We develop garments to your design and label, from sampling through bulk. See [private label](/services/private-label) for garment programmes. ### Can you put sequins on a T-shirt? Yes. We can develop a placed sequin or bead design on a T-shirt. Cutaway backing provides strong support for embroidery. ### Do you supply sequin or beaded fabric on its own? Yes. We source sequin and beaded fabric to your brief without a garment order. ### Is it sequin or sequins? Sequin names one ornament; sequins is the plural. ### Are sequins the same as rhinestones?
