Arrrggghhh button popping dress!!!
Arrrggghhh button popping dress!!!
I'm wearing a shirt dress to work today, but didn't realise the buttons keep coming open :eek: not a good look when you work in an office full of men, I feel like I'm in a dodgy carry on film - "oops my dress has popped open"! ;) :p
Answers:
oh dear :D maybe "pop out" (sorry that's awful! I can't resist bad puns) of the office and purchase some safety pins?
I am ample of bosom and had a similarly carry-on moment once with a cardi from DP - I tried it on in the shop with some of the buttons undone, took it home, did all the buttons up, breathed, and they pinged off one by one! In a most comic way. (I think they were badly sewn, nothing to do with my 34E bust. Noooo. ;) ) I've fastened it with a brooch ever since!
Answers:
Sounds like the buttonholes are too big, just put a few stitches in them to make them smaller. Won't help your present dilemna though unless you've got a needle and cotton at work :)

I'm ok as long as I don't make any sudden movements! :lol: I'm rubbish with a needle and thread... it's times like this I wish I lived closer to my Mum! :o

I'm sure it wasn't you - I've had really badly sewn on buttons on jackets from DP. Once one came off when the SA was putting it in the plastic bag!! They didn't have another one in that size so she just shoved the button into the bag with it! :rolleyes:
