You push the sharp part through the fabric. With pliers you can press the button on the pointed stub. To protect the face of the button, I put a piece of scrap fabric between the pliers and the button. It takes some fiddling to get the button over the first rib of the stub.

Thanks for the info. Maybe you have the basis for a new self help thread

No problem. Some things I could find out on my own but YouTube/Internet is also a great help. And reality is a good place to get experience the hard way.

If there are questions, fire away.

And another kilt-look-alike wrap skirt came from the production line.

This time a little longer and made of dark blue twill.
Tomorrow I plan to go to the beach and will take this one and the shorter grey one with me. They are easy-on and easy-off.

Nice skirt
But... it's me or does it appear much more gray than blue?

Similar jean buttons on Amazon UK? Not the same design on the buttons though.
