Gold cardigan/kimono/beaded jacket

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 02/05/2026 05:37

I am looking for something gold -ideally glittery or sparkly (not sequin) to wear to a dinner/dance type event. I have a forest green sequin top and skirt and am planning on wearing gold strappy sandals and bag.

Im.a size 16. Needs to be about hip length. Sleeves ideally 3/4 length or short. .budget up to £50. But could be flexible if its the type of thing I could get lots of use from. Happy with vinted ... just cant seem to find much

I was initially thinking of a fine crochet or maybe a beaded chiffon that would also come in for holidays... or even something cream with a green and gold pattern ... I am just struggling to find anything.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions

Have a browse on Etsy. You’ll get different results if you type in gold cover up or cardigan. Some are more like drapes or shawls others hand made.

Etsy is a good call. I've had some bargains on ebay, try 'mother of the bride' and 'cruising'.

Sorry I don't know your age, I'm not meaning to insult you.

Why do you want a jacket to put on top of a sequin top and skirt at a dinner dance? It seems unnecessary to have settled on your outfit and then put something on top of it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Wouldn't have thought to look at either and etsy have some lovely things.

I have a matching jacket which might be too heavy if the weather is nice and the top is more revealing than I would fell comfortable if I end up sat eating with people I dont know. I may not need it, which is why I dont want to spend too much / would like to use for holiday

I am early 50s .... and love a cruise..Blush

Definitely have a look at eBay before your next cruise.

This has a few sequins but more beaded than not.
