Button Shopping Tips

Keep these tips in mind as you browse through our button collections.

Even if you want to buy a small size of a button, look at the images for the larger sizes to see the best representation.
When considering which size to order, remember to take into account your height and the placement of the button. The pattern envelope is only a guide. You can adjust the size of the button hole to accommodate your individual taste.
There are a number of ways to customize the button embellishment on your garment. For instance, if you can't find a color match, use a neutral button sewn on with a thread color matching the fashion fabric. If the button you choose does not come in the right size, group two or three buttons together to accomplish the effect of a larger button. This is a particularly nice treatment on blouses and dresses made of lightweight fabrics which might not support the weight of a larger button.
If you can't find exactly what you are looking for in our online collections or would prefer the advice of an experienced sewer, try our Best Match Service for buttons.
