Buttonholes and buttons are the best fastenings for most
undergarments because they hiundcr well, wear well, and may
be an interesting part of the design of the closing of a garment.
Single-bar buttonholes are fan-shaped at one end and have a
bar finish at the other. They are generally used wliere there Ls
a strain; the button rests in the fan-shaped, or rounded, end of
the l>uttonhole.
Doul»le-l>ar buttonholes have the bar finish at both ends.
They are generally placed vertically in the gannent and are
used where there is not much strain and where the button slips
up and down in the buttonhole,
To sew on liuttons, the stitches should be taken over a pin
placed on the top of the button. The pin should then be re-
moved and the thread wound several times around the stitches
between the l>utton and the gaiTnent to make a thread neck or
shank which liolds tiie button up from the material, making raom
for the buttonhole and giving the faistening greater strength.
