The dress will zip underneath, but the panels will really button over the zipper with elastic loops so the zipper doesn't show at all.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955860228699657953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497130856777837494.post-77622700816527933192008-09-27T19:12:00.000-04:002008-09-27T19:12:00.000-04:00I thought about beading for the buttons, but could...I thought about beading for the buttons, but couldn't work out what to do as far as the beading pattern. Just round and round with clear/ivory beads maybe? <BR/><BR/>I will definitely post some pics once I have the train, maybe pinning on several different options so I can get the different effects.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much everyone for all your comments!

I'm actually thinking that the solid red buttons might not be as bad as you think - they would visually lead to the train, yet not overpower by repeating the inverted v-motif too much or causing the focus to be on the buttons. Covered ivory buttons encrusted with beads/sequins could look gorgeous, too - incorporating the beads, yet not overpowering the statement of the red train. How many buttons and are they functional or just decorative?<BR/><BR/>Could you post some pics once you get the two pieces united so we can see the effect? I love stuff like this - there are so many things to explore, but you're right, it is all about editing!Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497130856777837494.post-56531032078260218812008-09-27T11:21:00.000-04:002008-09-27T11:21:00.000-04:00I like the buttons.
