Hi folks, does anyone know of anything other than elastic bridal loops to use to hold down the buttons on the back of a wedding gown? I have been asked to add buttons down the back but the Bride doesn't like the look of elastic, and there is quite a lot of them to hand crochet all the loops.
I was thinking I could put small clear snaps here and there to hold down the zipper placket.
thanks
