I had some buttons in stash but I didn't feel they were quite right. L from You Sew Girl! hit the nail on the head when she suggested self-covered buttons. YES! I liked that idea quite a lot!
I'll give the full report soon, but here are some pix:

What do you think? Have you changed your mind now that you've seen it with buttons?

Ok, I was a no button person, but I like the covered buttons. They add something without being to twee. Love the new dress. And of course I would love to go to the National City swap meet with you!!! I have it on my calendar!
