This purple top is great, but what about gaping along the button placket?

Let's say your button-down shirt is gaping along the front, either showing skin or your bra. It's one of the worst problems to have: the only way that I know how to solve it is to tug your top down all day to keep the buttons in "line."

The Solution: The Bosom Button! Use one in pearl or rhinestone.
