Sorry I wasn’t more clear!
This started a few years back when I took my five year old niece to the store to pick out fabric to make her and her sister Tinkerbell and Periwinkle dresses. (Periwinkle is Tinkerbell’s long lost twin sister for those of you who haven’t watched Secret of the Wings) We were all set to check out with materials for two Fairy Tale Dresses and Nora saw a button that she just had to have.
Obviously the Fairy Tale Dress doesn’t require a button but she had been so good the whole time (and I wanted to avoid a meltdown in the store) so I figured why not just buy the $2 buttons and sew them on the inside of the dress. The girls LOVED it so now I sew a button on the inside of all their dresses.
It’s a fun way to use up random/extra buttons you have around or if you see something cute but doesn’t really go with the style of the dress.
I don’t add them on stuff for babies, feels like an unnecessary risk to add a potential choking hazard. (Not to mention what if they rolled over on it and it caused them to wake up from an otherwise very long nap?!)
