Button Tricks

A perfect way of adding drama to the new brief sleeve is shown above in the picture. Give it the button treatment by spacing colorful dramatic buttons on it just as this lovely lady does it. Many of the newer buttons look as if they belonged in the jewelry section and that’s why the button game, as fashion now plays it, is being carried on in a jewelrylike manner on pretty dress-up clothes. A good make-over idea is shown in the inset oval below. Slash the neckline of last season’s dress to the deep-cut line so popular just now. Sew a plastic rose-button in dainty pink at each comer. Nice touch are the three matching buttons she wears on her hairband to achieve a well ensembled look. For these charming costume accents the designer uses the new popular ceramic button originals.
