ABSTRACT:
A garment closing apparatus is provided comprising a base having a first clasping surface extending upwardly from a first end and a second clasping surface extending upwardly from a second end. A generally U-shaped spring clasp is rotatably coupled to the base such that it is movable to vary the dosing apparatus between an open mode and a closed mode. A wafer is adapted to support a decorative button thereon and is coupled to a U-shaped clip having a slot formed therein. The slot is adapted to receive a cylindrical post upstandingly secured to the base. The base is attached to an intersection point of a left bodice and right bodice of a blouse, dress, or blazer by configuring the closing apparatus to an open position, inserting the overlapping bodice material between the spring clasp and the first and second clasping surfaces and rotating the spring clasp to a closed position. The wafer is secured to the base by inserting the upstanding cylindrical post into the slot of the U-shaped clip.
