  >What are metal button covers? I can't picture it Basically once upon a time "luxury" buttons were either of precious materials (like solid, real gold) or sporting a precious stone or an enameled surface/design and those owning dresses with these buttons could afford to have them removed (and later re-sawn) when washing the dress was needed, as there was the possibility that they became damaged. Using more common metals (like brass or similar) poses another possible risks during washing, the fabric could result stained by some reaction of the soap/chemicals involved with the metal. Metal button covers are thin covers that you can put over a normal (usually plastic) button to give them a particular "look", and they can simply be removed when washing is needed.

  https://coverbuttons.com/ https://coverbuttons.com/ Yes, they debated updating the website but their core clientele have been using it effectively for the past 10 years so they didn't want to change it.
