This week will be all about outfits I was wearing when we were in Cape Town

The real causes of button smile Not enough bust shaping, so the body pushes the placket open Button spacing is too wide in the bust zone Placket fusing is too weak, so the edge collapses Wrong button size for the fabric thickness My practical pattern fixes I add or adjust bust darts, not just add width I shift the bust point to match the target customer I reduce center-front edge stretch by correcting grain placement I avoid too much waist suppression if the customer is curvy The button placement rule I use I treat bust level as a high tension zone I reduce spacing in that zone I add one hidden snap or hidden button between two visible buttons Quick tech-pack notes that save time No gaping allowed at bust
