unusual buttons, dress closers etc.

i have a plain dress that opens all the way down the front and i'm looking for something to close it with to jazz it up a bit. i'd actually love some pewter flowers with loops, but would like to look at a range of buttons and closers. any recommendations of websites or shops?

Nice kids buttons would be good too.

well, VV Rouleaux is always a good place to start...

Knitting shops often have some buttons- there are some here (the ones labelled Pavi Antique are the closest to what you want, maybe, though not exact), some more here , and my favourite, though completely different from pewter flowers, Nichols Buttons . There's also an interesting US site here .

thanks so much Mrs Badger and Tamum, this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. My dress is a dusky purple silk velvet, now I just have to decide on my buttons.......

That sounds lovely, let us know what you choose
