My beloved silk vintage shirt lost it's top button. I replaced it with a tiny sliding lock.
I sewed the lock in place with rayon thread, regular cotton thread could fray and break by the sharpness of the metal. Then I squeezed the part where the lock should slide into(see detail picture) so that it becomes more rigid and harder to close. This way when the lock is closed it will stay in place and not open by itself.

genius!!! i love this idea!
Where can I find one of these sliding lock? I would love to try this look out! A very creative idea indeed! Turns a simple button up shirt into something so edgy and fun!

Wow! I definitely wouldn't have thought of using a sliding lock to replace a button, so I admire your creativity :) The sliding lock looks great with the shirt too!
That's ingenious! Wouldn't it weigh down the top of the shirt if it isn't locked though?
what a fabulous idea, i always lose my top buttons! it is like you have locked yourself in! what surprises me is the fact that it does not look heavy and it stays into place! so perfect creative idea
In my opinion you seem to try too hard
But very, different idea sweetie.
original idea! I saw a while ago a collection of a designer, a friend of mine, which had got lockets, keys and similar in place of buttons: I'm going to publish pics on my blog about that. If you're interested with, come and take a look!

I absolutely love your style! I've been browsing through your DIY section and am completely amazed with your creativity. As much as I adore your clothes, could you tell me where your lipstick is from? I'd love for you to do a post on all your different lipstick looks - this light pink is gorgeous, and I love the dark red lipstick in your previous posts too. This is definitely one of the best - if not THE best - fashion blogs I've come across in a while; you are clearly a professional. Amazing!
