Dress Of The Day with Angela

  The scarf is now worn over a wine clour tee-shirt. The look is upgraded by the scarf timmed with pearl buttons. I have turned the scarf for a new effect, instead of pearl buttons down the front, the buttons are now down the tops of the arms. To complete the colour co-ordination I have a tote bag with dark red handles.  Here's a close up of the back of the buttons. You can see they are fixed through both edges of the scarf. On the back is a tiny round stud. This was the dress of the day 186 with the 3 pearl buttons down the front (and three more down the back). Underneath is a tight wine colour jacket with sleeves.

  Dress of the day 186. Smile with Angela. Burgundy wine colour jacket, and wine colour button-front, semi-see-through scarf.  I love button-front scarves. They look like elegant jackets. They don't slip off.  I bought one expensive one in silk at the Botanical gardens shop. Then I found these cheap chiffon ones from China on the internet.  You could buy two and add three pearl buttons on the front, fasteneed with a ribbon loop. Add three more at the back to look elegant and keep it in place.  You really need large scarves. Mine measures, each scarf 19 inches wide. I took the scarf off to look at it.  The buttons are not attached by buttonholes nor ribbons. No need to go to the trouble of either. They are fixed with a back fastening stud. You can buy sets to do this, but they may be heavy for a light fabric.  An alternative would be a magnetic button. Or tie pins. Comments and captions please.
