Buttonhole Hint

In nearly all of the ready-to-wear shirtwaists and lingerie blouses sold in the shops the buttonhole will be cut parallel with the opening, and if there is the slightest strain on them when the blouse is worn they will gape open in a most discouraging way. There Is really no way to remedy this fault in the bought waist unless you are able to match the material and cut away the strip of material having the butonholes in It and stitch cm a new piece, in which you can work the buttonholes horizontally, as should always be done on every blouse that la to be worn buttoned In the back.
