This post from Sunni of A Fashionable Stitch is part of her 2-in-1 Shirt/Wrap Dress sew-a-long, and while I am in awe that she’s showing us how to sew two dresses at once, I also love the fantastic tips she’s giving us! This one in particular is extremely useful, particularly for adverting that dreaded button-up blouse gap-age {ladies, y’all know what I’m talking about!} so do check it out! ^ u ^
2-in-1 Sewalong: the Shirt Dress Buttonhole Placement
….This is a tip I picked up awhile ago and I’ve been dying to share it. Few people realize that buttonhole placement counteracts gaposis. Actually if you’ve ever made anything that buttons down your front, and you’re a girl – because let’s face it, guys don’t have breasts – then you know about the gaposis. In fact, if you’ve ever tried on anything from the store that buttons down, you definitely know about gaposis. It’s even very possible that a man pointed out to you that your shirt was gaping you-know-where.
Having your buttons in the right place counteracts gaposis, as does a good fit. But if you have a great fit on a garment and you have poor button placement, you’ll have gaposis. Promise….

I love that button spacing mechanism too! Although I must admit, I am still a little button shy, as I haven't braved the button hole function on my sewing machine yet!
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally know how that feels. I was so hesitant about buttonholes, but really my machine makes it sooo simple! Maybe yours will be super easy too!
