They made the best glitter available because it was made from foil so it was weightless and didn't change the hand of the fabric. I have a Cinderella costume that I made over 15 years ago that has been worn for several productions where I stenciled the Jones Tones glitter onto the ball gown skirt. That stuff is still as shiny as the day I first did it. I guard my containers of JonesTones glitter very carefully.

Your description of the technique is so helpful---the first time you used the SAS acronym, I translated "Sewing as Science." That works as well as Steam A Seam which I figured out a few words later.

To get real metal leaf to adhere to the size, I use a dry brush, rubbing the foil rigorously. It may be worth a try? <br />But oh how I love the idea of foiling a garment like this. I can't wait to see the finished article! And I think I have the perfect buttons.

That allowed me to get a much finer line than just straight from the bottle. I bought them at an Expo and unfortunately I don't think I have them anymore. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your jacket.
