Button Help

Thanks guys for all the comments on my belly. :) You guys know how to make a gal's head swell like a balloon. And I never said thank you for the advice on the embroidery machine but I do really appreciate the lengthy responses. I know it takes time to comment like that and I appreciate it.

I am currently working on BWOF 01/2009 #121. I'm not sure about buttons. They are a dark blue denim with white topstitching. I plan on adding a deep jean hem to the bottom.

These are bright aluminum buttons. I inherited a bunch of them. They are super light and shiny. It's hard to take a picture of them. So far, I think these are my favorite.


Here are the last three brass jean buttons. I'm not sure that the yellow-y brass goes with the white topstitching.



These are just plain white buttons. They are semi-opaque.



Red would be fun but then I have to sort of be careful with what I wear it with and they are a little too 4th of July. But, I still kinda like it.

These are smaller dark blue buttons. I would probably use three on the waistband and one on each pocket.

These are a smokey grey. I don't like them at all in the picture. They almost have a lavender tone to them.

Here's the inside facing. This is what makes me want to go with red buttons.

What do you guys think?

Girls' Coats

So what do you guys think? I need to decide on topstitching for the girls' coats.

The purple doesn't really stand out so I am thinking of the pink/blue/green version. If I am going to all the trouble to topstitch everything, I want it to pop. 1, 2, and 3 are varigated thread. I really like 2 and 3 the best I think. I also like 4.
