The phrase
"button band" refers to a strip of fabric or a row of buttons found on clothing items, such as shirts or cardigans. It is used to fasten the garment and keep it closed.
Full definition
I love the dark, rich chocolate brown colour, oversized collar and faux
leather button band, all of which make the coat look a lot more expensive than its # 79.99 price tag.
I liked it quite a bit, but wish I had done it on the hem of the sweater, and not just the cuffs and
the button band.
Lesson re-learned: Get out the removable stitch markers and plan exactly where you are going to be putting those yarn overs for your button holes before you start knitting, and make sure they are evenly spaced throughout the length of
the button band.
The funny thing is, I'd be tempted to rip out
the button band and try again but that sewn bind off took me so long, I'm loathe to unpick it.
This probably helps: I wouldn't have noticed things like
the button band if you hadn't pointed it out.
There are so many sweet details to this dress ~
the button band down the back is probably my favourite however... Or maybe the bow on the collar at the front?
Think strings of pearls, a collar and
button band, or a crossbody bag.
I don't always face
the button bands but I've been enjoying it as a way to have a little pop of vintage ribbon on the inside, since they're so pretty.
