FAQ
What color is Dusty Rose in rhinestones?
Dusty Rose is a soft, muted pink with greyed-down warmth. It reads as quieter and more sophisticated than plain Rose. It is less saturated, slightly cooler, and distinctly more muted than Light Rose. It is a popular choice for bridal designs, romantic themes, and any project where pink needs to feel elegant rather than bold.
Can I use these rhinestones on dance costumes?
Yes, Dusty Rose 12ss works well for outlining patterns and adding a soft vintage-pink accent on dance and pageant costumes.
What is the difference between flatback and hotfix rhinestones?
Flatback rhinestones are non-hotfix and applied with glue, while hotfix rhinestones have a heat-activated adhesive backing.
How many rhinestones do I need for a costume?
It depends on the design, but a 10-gross package (1,440 pieces) covers most medium-to-large costume projects using 12ss stones.
