I have a really cute fitted button-up shirt from anthro that's made of silk. It fits me like a glove when I'm standing up..the buttons all lay perfectly flat and it doesn't look too tight or anything. However, when I sit down there's this section between two of the bottons that pulls apart. All the other buttons still lay flat. It has a really tiny, delicate snap in between the buttons, but it never stays shut (I think because it's SO tiny. Sometimes I just lift my arm a certain way and it opens.

The next size up is huge everywhere..and I really feel like this fits me except for that stupid button and it's only when I sit.

Any ideas on how to fix this????

Would double sided tape work?

I thought i bookmarked that product but now i can't find it. Here's one solution but this sure isn't just a plus size problem, it's a button placement thing too.

here's the other link I had first b/c i'm not sure if the other still sells it:

Maybe a tiny piece of velcro?  Or one of those hook type things that they have at the top of a zipper on a dress (could you sew one in?)?

Hollywood fashion tape, makes a double sided tape that you put between the buttons and it keeps your shirt perfectly closed. It totally elimanets the gaps.

It retails around $6 - $8 for a box of 50 pieces.
