I'm off to try on jackets to try for a better fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taylor-how-do-you-move-buttons-on-a-jacket#post-173498 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 06:13:01 +0000 AJ 173498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a great and simple way to make a jacket fit better! Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taylor-how-do-you-move-buttons-on-a-jacket#post-173406 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:37:53 +0000 Kate 173406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>got it, thanks for the explanations! I was imagining something much more (unnecessarily) complicated... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taylor-how-do-you-move-buttons-on-a-jacket#post-173396 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:12:12 +0000 taylor 173396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remove the buttons. Put the jacket back on. re-align the jacket into the new position, usually over about a half inch or inch for me on jackets that ~fit~ everywhere else . Mark the new position and reattach the button. This brings in the waist area on me and gives the back a more fitted look as well without changing the design of the jacket. It doesn't work so well if the jacket is too big to begin with.</p> <p>If anyone knows an easier way I am all ears!!!</p> <p> edit: Ha, yep Angie!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taylor-how-do-you-move-buttons-on-a-jacket#post-173394 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:09:37 +0000 Angie 173394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you just cut off the buttons and move them to the left or right (tighter or loser). Button holes stay in the same place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taylor-how-do-you-move-buttons-on-a-jacket#post-173392 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:07:23 +0000 Kate 173392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, I saw that you, "move virtually all front buttons on about every jacket I own" in the MK top 10 thread. Can you explain more? Wouldn't that necessitate moving the button holes too? How does it work? I'm super curious! </p>
