I saw this Infomercial commercial a couple of weeks ago for "The Perfect Button" and thought it sounded brilliant. Then I saw it at Bed, Bath & Beyond in their "As Seen on TV" section and bought it. AND LOVE IT. Oh my god, this thing is fabulous to the millionth degree.
The concept is so simple I can't believe I didn't invent it myself:
For about $10 (that's how much I paid in B,B & B) you get 8 of these pin things that are the shape and size of buttons. Then you can pin them to your pants right near the existing button to make the pants either tighter or looser. I imagine that most of the people who buy them are doing it to help them fit into pants that are too tight, but I've used it for both.
Here's the little infomercial picture:
I have this pair of black pants that I can't let go even though they are a little too loose - but now with the button I actually made them fit better. My favorite use for them so far - the "adjustable" concept I came up with. When I wear my tightest jeans, they always seem fine at the beginning of the day, but the longer I'm out and the more I've eaten during the day, they start getting a little bit squeezy. So when the feeling comes where I just want to rip them off and put on sweatpants, I switch them to the looser setting. Fab, right?

How awesome is this! I've never heard of it. I'm gonna get a set for my mom who broke a button on her favorite pair of jeans and doesn't have the dexterity to replace it herself. Thanks!
