Am just about finished with this duster, but need your assistance in choosing some button. First, an update ~ click a pic to get all the details
Used the selvage for the front instead of facings, to keep the duster very light weight. Then I decided to do the neckline as light weight as possible too, so just did a modified self-bias facing hand sewn on the inside.
But I forgot that the top edges of the self-faced fronts slanted below the neck facing. AGH!!! What to do???
Buttons to the rescue! One on either side wouldn’t necessarily add weight and would hide the now darned edges. But which buttons???
Lovely Readers, puh-lease send your opinion! I’m leaning towards the larger buttons, but do still love them all . . .

Thanks, Felicia! I like it too, and the larger button might be too heavy. Gave one a try… might have to sew one on each side & see which one looks best…

I like the plain round yellow-y button best. My eye was immediately drawn to it.
