They can not be seen from outside of the garments e.g. Interlining
Fasteners
Button:
In clothing and fashion design, a
button is a small plastic or metal disc- or knob-shaped, typically round,
object usually attached to an article of clothing in order to secure an
opening, or for ornamentation. Functional buttons work by slipping the button
through a fabric or thread loop, or by sliding the button through a reinforced slit
called a buttonhole
Button
Buttons may be manufactured from an
extremely wide range of materials, including natural materials such as antler,
bone, horn, ivory, shell, vegetable ivory, and wood; or synthetics such as
celluloid, glass, metal, bake lite and plastic. Hard plastic is by far the most
common material for newly manufactured buttons; the other materials tend to
occur only in premium apparel
Hook and loop fastener (Velcro)
This item consists of two woven polyamide
tapes; one is covered with very fine hooks and the other with very fine loops.
When pressed together they adhere (stick) securely to each other. This fastener
is also used instead of buttons or zippers. A Swiss inventor made this product
and he offered the trade name ‘Velcro’ for it. This word comes from two French
words ‘Velour, and ‘Crochet’. It is used in only a limited number of garments e.g.
shoes, belts, sportswear, children wear, medical textiles, etc. Velcro is
available in roll form in the market which has most common width of 5/8 to 3/4
inch

Snap Fastener
•
A snap fastener (also called snap, popper, and
press stud) is a pair of interlocking discs commonly used in place of buttons
to fasten clothing
•
A circular lip under one disc fits into a groove
on the top of the other, holding them fast until a certain amount of force is
applied
Snap Fastener
Snap fasteners were first patented by
German inventor Heribert Bauer in 1885 as the
"Federknopf-Verschluss", a novelty fastener for men's trousers. These
first versions featured an S-shaped spring in the top disc instead of a groove

Eye Closure
•
A hook-and-eye closure is a clothing fastener
that consists of two parts, each sewn to their respective pieces of cloth, one
with a small protruding blunt hook, and the other with a small loop (also known
as the "eye" or
"eyelet") protruding
•
To fasten the garment, the hook is slotted into
the loop
•
Hook-and-eye closures are typically used in
groups to provide sufficient strength to bear the forces involved in normal
wear
Eye Closure
Hooks and eyes are commonly
available in the form of hook-and-eye tape, consisting of two tapes, one
equipped with hooks and the other equipped with eyelets in such a way that the
two tapes can be
"zipped" together side-by-side
To construct the garment, sections
of hook-and-eye tape are sewn into either side of the garment closure.
Hook-and-eye closures are commonly used in corsetry
Eye Closure
Frog (fastening)
A frog (sometimes referred to as a Chinese
frog) is an ornamental braiding for fastening the front of a garment that
consists of a button and a loop through which it passes. The usual purpose of
frogs is to provide a closure for a garment while decorating it at the same
time
These frogs are usually used on garments
that appear oriental in design
Tops with a mandarin collar often use frogs
at the shoulder and down the front to keep the two sections of the front closed
Frog (fastening)
•
Using larger or smaller size cording or fabric
tubes will result in larger and smaller frogs
•
Also, self-fabric can be used to create frogs
that are the same color as the garment, though frogs are usually chosen to be a
contrasting color to that of the garment
•
Frogs are made by looping and interlocking the
cording or fabric tube into the desired design, then securing the places where
the cords touch by hand-sewing
•
The frog is then stitched onto a garment,
usually by hand
•
This allows the fabric tube to remain smooth and
flex easily when bent into curves
Zipper
•
A zipper (British English: zip fastener or zip)
is a popular device for temporarily joining two edges of fabric
•
Zippers are used in clothing (e.g. jackets and
jeans), luggage and other bags, sporting goods, camping gear (e.g., tents and
sleeping bags), and other daily use items
•
This is one kind of accessories used to open and
close of some special parts of a garment
•
Zippers are also used for decorative purposes
•
In making trouser and jackets, this is an essential component
