So I didn't really have to do a whole lot of sourcing today. I was asked to go to a new trim store to see if I could find some silver neck pieces. I had passed Trims de Carnival, on 38th street between 5th and 6th, a couple of times on my way to 5th avenue, but I had never stopped there because the window display is so gaudy. The store itself is pretty narrow and filled almost to the brim with products. And, while I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, I would definitely go back. They have a really good selection of fancier trims and loose sequins and beads.
I was also asked to find some matte sequin trim. I knew that finding sequin trim would be pretty easy to find since it's a pretty basic thing in the trim world. I walked around to a few trim places but was met with only shiny sequin trim. I knew that TrimArt would have what I was looking for so I headed over there and was right. They have several different widths of matte sequin trim in silver and in gold; with square sequins. I didn't see any with regular round sequins, but luckily the square ones are what I needed. It was only $2.50 a yard which is a pretty decent price for anything with sequins or beads on it. I bought 15 yards and headed back.
