The Great Button Tryouts: Music Class Blouse from BurdaStyle This is my last installment to finish off this blouse. Buttons can be conspicuous–think of rhinestone buttons on a silk evening blouse–or very inconspicuous–most men’s shirts. Or somewhere in between. I like to try out buttons by laying out the various possibilities all at once, and then to finalize the selection, the same button multiple times. You see in the top photo the various contenders. With so many colors in the fabric print itself, red, blue and white were obviously all in the mix. I settled on blue in part because they were more noticeable than the white, and less noticeable than the red. The red ones seemed to bring yet another element into the mix which seemed too much. The white ones simply disappeared. While the blue gave some structure to a busy print by walking in a sober line down the front of the blouse. It is still a playful blouse meant for summer weekends, but now its actual structure became apparent. I may this from a rayon print at Fabric Mart. For the pattern, which is part of a collection called Music Class that has a decidedly vintage air, go here: https://www.burdastyle.com/short-sleeve-blouse-01-2011.htmlFor the Fabric Mart, which has an ever evolving set of discount offerings, and right now has some very nice swimwear prints, go here: https://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/ -- source link
