How to correct your figure with buttons
You can highlight your strengths and hide your flaws not only with clothing styles, but also by choosing the right buttons. Not everyone pays enough attention to this detail, and that's a mistake! Depending on the size, color, and even shape, you can easily correct undesirable body features. To learn how to correct your figure with buttons, let's use some expert advice.

Stylist recommendations for women with an apple-shaped figure
When sewing a blouse or jacket, it is best to highlight the neckline with medium-sized buttons that match the garment. It is better to avoid large and bright ones, as they will emphasize this area even more, while small ones will visually enlarge an already large bust. Often with this body type, the skirt or trousers are 1-2 sizes smaller. Therefore, to create a harmonious outfit, the lower part of the wardrobe should be accented with large buttons, which will balance the silhouette.

In this case, the greater volume is in the lower part of the body, and the bust may be less pronounced. If you sew buttons with an interesting shape onto a blouse—square, oval, or decorative—they will draw the eye and distract from the problem area. Buttons in the form of decorative elements or faux stones look interesting.

## Narrow shoulders and wide hips: how to choose buttons
Stylists recommend jackets with stripes and double-breasted blazers in this situation. Two rows of eye-catching metal buttons will visually restore proportions. This style can also be used for coats. Keep in mind the purpose of the wardrobe—if the item is for everyday wear or requires a dress code, the buttons should differ minimally in shade from the color of the garment. For an evening model, you can and should choose a more contrasting and bright option.

## How to sew buttons on clothes for a rectangular figure
If we are talking about stylish and original clothing, then this element should be positioned to visually narrow the waist while increasing the hips and bust. Look at the photo to see how you can creatively handle the situation and create a unique wardrobe. For business and formal wear, use oval-shaped buttons, preferably made of expensive materials. They will not only slightly change the silhouette but also enhance your status.

Figure correction for a small bust
Everyone knows that vertical lines visually narrow the figure, so blouses with a small button closure will make the bust look even smaller. Buy or sew clothes that have pockets on the front and original medium-sized buttons. For bold fashionistas, we can suggest an interesting trend—a blouse with a V-neck and a back closure. It visually narrows the waist and emphasizes natural curves.

And it just dawned on me! I remember my mom's Burda sewing magazines from the 80s and 90s, and there were a bunch of patterns for jackets, suits, and coats where the buttons were sewn not in a straight line, but along a diagonal line.
It seems simple, but it adds some kind of grace)) After all, it's true that everything new is well-forgotten old.
