DIY Simple Blouse Alteration

Hello everybody!

I recently learned that it is possible for blouses to pop open also if they’re too big. I think this is evil. I bought two blouses with plenty of room to try to avoid the issue and when on a date with my husband this past weekend the wind kept trying to blow it open! I then resolved to buy some snaps and put snaps in between each button. This seems to have worked!

Blue blouse I haven’t added snaps to yet, you can kind of see the gapping here (also excuse my bureau, I hadn’t put stuff away yet)
Pink blouse that doesn’t gap on me anymore!
I bought a ton of snaps, I plan to do this to multiple blouses
I rolled a tailors pencil where I wanted the snaps to be so that it would mark each side at the same time so I would have aligned snaps
I whipped stitch each hole 3 times to secure the snaps on both sides

I am really happy with the results and plan on adding snaps to everything I can at this point!
