Coat for Ballet

20 years ago

I sewed a coat for my daughter to wear to the Nutcracker Ballet this year. I'm having a problem tho deciding which buttons to use. I'd appreciate suggestions. I have gold buttons that would match the string that holds the muff and I also have some snowflake buttons, white with faces of snowmen on them. Any other ideas? The link is to the photo gallery here on the sewing forum

I think the snowmen buttons would be too cartoonish - it's a lovely outfit for a special occasion so go for Gold!

I went to the Nutcracker here in Glasgow last year, I absolutely insisted that my friends dress up, I HATE seeing people come to the theatre/ballet in jeans and scruffy clothes. It's an occasion. Worse yet, parents bringing their children dressed for the park.

So well done you, your daughter is very lucky - enjoy the ballet!

In my opinion, gold buttons...keep it elegant.
