Glitter is apparently very bad for the environment. Sorry !

I'm still on the lookout for the hairspray - I'll let you know if I find it. I WILL find a remedy!!

My Christmas jumper sheds its glitter everywhere too. I'm loathe to wear it now.

The sparkly top and matching cardi I had from Tesco about 17 years ago didn't shed glitter, but it was oh so itchy!

I bought a lovely sparkly top from an online retailer, which did exactly the same thing. It was embarrassing :-)
I washed it per instructions, made no difference. So I returned it.
The next week I saw a jumpsuit in Tesco, also all sparkly. I checked it could be returned if necessary, but I have had no problems with that. Worn it, washed it and put it aside for New Year :-)

Id love to know too as I have had a purple glittery jacket for about 5 years and have worn it once.

I bought a rather nice jumpsuit a couple of weeks ago with a glitter laden top half and then a glittery jacket to go over it. We went to a dinner last Sat night and the glitter was everywhere - in the car, on the hotel chairs, the toilet floor and my bedroom. I've searched all over for unperfumed hairspray to try and stop the shedding but so far no luck.

I was going to go out in it last night but at the last minute changed my mind as I couldn't face the mess. My SIL then turned up in a glitter dress and the same thing happened to her so we all ended up sparkling in the light grin

Does anyone have an alternate method of keeping this glitter on the clothes instead of covering everything around them?! (Apart from carrying a handheld vac in my bag grin )
