I have a denim dress that has snaps and they don't stay snapped good. When I sit down sometimes they pop loose. Any suggests would help??? ;D
28110 Monika, what about putting a little hook
and eye just under the edge of the material
on either side - you can get dark ones
these days and that way if the snap snaps -
you still are in tact so to speak!!
Maybe wear a different bra - or if
it's in the lower regions of the body
wear a tight girdle! I don't know
what size you are - so these are just
purely fun suggestions.
Or on the other hand you could look just
like this women!!!!!
Love and blessings Chris

Just wanted to know----how did you get this picture of me????????? HAHAHAHAHA Sue
11346 LOL... I think we all agree about snap whacking. When I'm in a pinch and don't have the hammer, a small piece of tissue between the two parts will tighten it up a bit. If neither of those work, you'll have to do the buttonholes. OESD has some really nice buttonhole embroidery designs.
5430 This may be a dangerous suggestion in the wrong hands, so use at your own risk. When we had problems with snaps, my Mom would put the part of the snap with the 'bump' face up on the kitchen table, and give it a little 'whack' with a very small hammer she had. It was just enough to push that bump down and out a little, making it fatter and hold into the hole better. It's an art, this "snap-whacking". For me, sometimes it works, sometimes I totally wreck the snap. Use at your own risk, hee hee hee. I hope somebody has a less aggressive way of fixing the things. Ever think of putting Velcro over the snaps? Velcro doesn't come undone. Good luck on this one, hugs, Marji

I love this comment Barb - I can't get
it out of my head - Snap wacker! It just
has this fabulous ring to it.

Ok, I am a mom and a grandma and yes I have
done it too, the trick is not hitting to
hard to start and just tap until it will
hold again. Too much and you will need to
revert to one of the other methods. I
personally like replacing with lovely
button hole (embroidered of course) or
lovely buttons. I had a friend who had a
denim jumper and she would change the
buttons for the different seasons. too
much work for me. I have laguhed throught
most of the post.

Yep squashing the snap is what we used to do too. Also putting a hook and eye near the troublesome snap.
22884 Get a good strong pair of Pliers, pull the
snaps off and replace with some gorgeous
buttons and buttonholes, don't forgt
to put the buttonholes, horizontally or you
will still undress yourself every time you
sit down.
Hey, wait a minute, how do we know you
don't unsnap the snaps on purpose to
show off your beautiful bod? LOL!!!

51849 Will Monica, no one solved your problem completely (however I DO like the Snap Wacker) but you surely brightened our day with laughter! I bet at least 75% of us have had the same problem!
by mad14kt 19 Aug 2009
LOL...with you ladies I don't know if I will take a take a trip or a journey...ROFL ROFL ;D *2U
7087 I have removed the snape and replaced them with new snaps that you can buy at the yardage stores.
6799 Now if I had asked my GM this question, she's have said lose weight, don't sit down or use safety pins. Little smarty she used to be!!!!
27963 Sorry I got in on this a little late. But sure got some good laughs out of it. Love it when we have fun stuff.
by mad14kt 19 Aug 2009
Yes, don't we have a fun and funny group. It's good to have a GOOD sense of humor ;D *2U
6496 Can't you sew part of the dress together? Marie
by mad14kt 19 Aug 2009
Wish I could but if I did I wouldn't be able to get NONE OF ME in LOL LOL LOL ;D *2U

96729 Large safety pins decorated with beads and tassels, haha, only kidding Monica, love and hugs to you sweetie, hope you find a suitable solution this could be a very embarrassing problem.

21958 Hehehehe i was thinking loose wieght "> No seriously Velcro is my suggestion also :)
13735 8552 Hit first like Marji said and if it does not work cover with velcro.
8727 I have done the same thing as Marji suggested, however I put a dish towel between my snap and the hammer. Do a few practice whacks on a nail until you get the hang of "gently" tapping. Oh, and P.S. you are NOT allowed to post that you tried this and now can't get the dress OFF! ;)
