RE: [h-cost] Eyelets or Buttons-
Those don't look like eyelets to me, at least sewn with just thread. If they were there would be dimple-like tension indents in the fabric around each one and there isn't. They do look like disks of some sort (buttons would approximate). It also looks to me as though there is lacing cord through the centers.

Some kind of grommet or decorative eyelet cover. With cords through the center of them. Dawn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
