Slow sewing

I'm slowly sewing the mermaid dress, and have decided to make the front appear to button down. That takes more buttons than I had so I either had to hope the shop still had some 2+ years later (they did) but before I could get there I realised the buttons I got with/for a linen/cotton dress would be even better.

These (larger) look less intrusive on the pale colours. Hence another trip on Sunday to get another 10. Scanning the buttons I picked out what I thought were these but realised they are the same style and size but with purple. As they weren't expensive I got 10 of each and can decide once it's time to use them.  They may also go with my African wax cotton grey stingrays on purple.
