Let the attention be on the design of the romper, and not necessarily the buttons. There are also black mother-of-pearl buttons that sometimes have a hint of brown in them. I have also seen natural shell buttons in brown. They are sometimes decorative, but maybe you will be lucky and find some simple ones in brown. On the belt, would you be able to stitch a button to the top, but actually close the garment with a large snap underneath? That is often done in ready to wear on heavier fabrics.<br />The romper and model really are adorable!Jan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876568604399905934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208170021058578065.post-22143224126030890862012-01-23T23:41:52.383-05:002012-01-23T23:41:52.383-05:00This is just toooo precious, Lisa.

The shoes are fabulous, the fabric is fabulous, the trim is just perfect. I love it.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047633606199529185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208170021058578065.post-80493915209528171532012-01-23T00:56:05.746-05:002012-01-23T00:56:05.746-05:00Hi Lisa, have you thought about velvet covered bu...Hi Lisa, have you thought about velvet covered buttons to match the belt? Or grey MOP buttons? For the buttonholes, try a solvy topper.Travel_with_a_purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131821637388157690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208170021058578065.post-32811278010147333112012-01-22T21:48:50.587-05:002012-01-22T21:48:50.587-05:00The romper is adorable as is the model!

Is the fabric too heavy for that or are there too many to do? Maybe the legs in the antique picture substitute for a diaper bag- just stuff a few extra diapers in there.gmaofthreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168987987304637948noreply@blogger.com
