Did you know a placket is the opening or slit in a dress or blouse that allows clothing to be put on or removed? A placket is often used to give a shirt dress that crisp, dressy appeal. Every fashion girl knows that a neat, clean button down shirt is a closet staple. But what happens when you button a shirt and the placket puckers, creating gap between the buttons?

If ironing alone doesn’t work, it’s time to take out the fashion tape. Apply a piece of double-sided clothing tape to the placket between the buttons. I’m a fan of Hollywood Fashion Secrets Fashion Tape ($5.99). It’s cheap and you can find it at most drug stores.

Of course, you can always that the top to the tailor but I found that fashion tape was the quickest and easiest way to fix button gaps.
