what colour are you looking for?

Do you have a haberdashery shop near you? There are quite a few shops near here that do buttons individually.

Also if you have a Dunelm mill near you, they might have some - they have more supplies in some shops than others.

£12 for 50 doesn't seem too expensive to me...

Try contacting a shop called Duttons for Buttons, they have shops in York, Harrogate and Ilkley and they have thousands of buttons they might be able to help you over the phone.

you may have to get covering buttons and cover them with satin yourself or look here if you scroll down you'll find them already covered. x

If the dress is being made for you, ask your dressmaker to source you some buttons you cover yourself, so that they will be in the exact same fabric, otherwise it may look odd.

can't your dressmaker source them for you - or even better, make them so they are identical to your dress. If you buy them yourself, they'll prob be the wrong colour & look awful against the dress anyway!

the person making my dress is my cousin lol so we just got the fabric from the local fabric shop they didnt have any i remember finding a company that would cover them in the same fabric if sent of some of it. i was also thinking maybe pearl buttons but not sure if they come in ivory hmmm
thanks for all your advice x

They are fiddly to cover but not rocket science.
