Adding glitter to drapes using layered shader, getting mixed results

kmtk

Hi, I'm trying to add a layer of glitter to drapes that have translucency and subsurface scattering in Mental Ray. I've searched everywhere on how to get this effect and have experimented with many shaders, including the color mix node. I'm now trying the MILA layered shader with a base of translucency and two fresnel layers added on top for the subsurface and glitter. It still doesn't look quite right.

The red material is a placeholder. The drapes will have different tints in the final render.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Also this is my first post, hopefully I did it right

You don't need IMG tags for this forum. You just need the URL of the image, click the Attach Image/File button (), then paste the URL in there.

What program are you rendering in (Maya 2015?). It would also help to show a reference photo of what you're trying to achieve. Posting this info helps people help you.

Rendering in Maya 2016. This is my render so far, trying to achieve the glittery effect seen on the curtains in the second pic.
