Choose a button that suits your suit. Make sure the button is the right shape, length and colour. If a button has just fallen off, you can sew it back on again. If you can't find the missing button, choose a button matches the others.
Mark the place where you need to sew the button. Use a light pen or pencil. Mark a cross about three quarters of the size of your button.
Choose your thread. Find something the same colour as the suit. Also make sure that it is the same thickness as the rest of the thread on the suit.
Get a needle and thread it with your thread.
Sew a couple of times through the cross to secure it.
Put a button hole through the needle and sew.
Sew through each hole several times to secure the button.
Tie a knot at the underside of the suit.
Cut off any remaining threads.
