My dress zips up the back, but I also have covered buttons with elastic loops that loop over the buttons. I picked up my dress last week and tried to do one and it took for-ever!
Does any one have a trick or technique on how to fasten these quickly and easily? The only thing I've heard of is using a crochet hook. I need to pick one up so I can try it out, but I'm looking for other ideas too. I have a late morning ceremony and a super tight schedule beforehand for hair/makeup and time for getting dressed. I can get in the dress and zip it up in 5 minutes but I don't want to spend another 45 minutes hooking the 16 buttons in back!
Any other ideas and how long do you think it will take to do up the 16 buttons?
Thanks!
