ACCORDING TO SIZE

All buttons are observed to have their

corresponding sizes. Some of the buttons are
quite similar in size, while others are easily
distinguished by their size being larger or
smaller than the rest of the buttons. The
count of the usual sizes is large in quantity,
while bigger sizes are smaller in quantity, and
the smallest ones are quite comparable to the
numbers of the usual sizes.
ACCORDING TO COLOR

Given all of the buttons, we can see that one

of the ways they differ is by color. The
population of buttons includes all three
primary colors (red, yellow, and blue). Some
are similar, but they are distinguished by their
distinct color hues. Some are pale, some are
vibrant, some are pastel, some are dark, and
some are colorful.
ACCORDING TO DESIGN

All buttons observed have unique designs

according to its aesthetic beauty in dress,
blouse, polo and other formal clothes. Some
of the buttons have sets of plastic diamonds,
arc shaped, and others have shiny
appearances. The other button designs have
the same designs but they have different
sizes.
 ACCORDING TO
NUMBER OF BUTTONS

Each clothes needs a specific number of

buttons that are needed for different
occasions. Some of the sets of buttons have
4, 6, 7, 12, and even 22 same sets of buttons.
This number of sets is for polo uniforms, polo
shirt, slacks, long sleeves and many more.
These number of buttons are exact in every
dress because they provide the feel of
comfort in users.

One-hole buttons also tend to
be more decorative than
multiple-hole buttons. To raise
the button above and through
the hole so that it sits above
the buttonhole. This type of
buttons is commonly use in
thicker fabric.
OF HOLE
TWO HOLE
Two-hole flat buttons are great for
light- or medium-weight fabrics
and are usually attached with the
holes lined up parallel to the fabric
edge. They are sewn onto the
fabric by going back and front
through the 2 holes. They are
most commonly disc-shaped, but
you can also find square, flower,
heart, triangle, or other shapes.
FOUR HOLE
Four-hole buttons are meant for
use where they will receive more
wear and tear. Four-hole flat
buttons are better for heavy-
weight fabrics, as the extra holes
make for a stronger attachment.
Sew on a four-hole button takes
much more thread, which makes
the attachment much stronger.
