Frogs<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No not amphibians, these frogs are garment closures and the last of Buttons, Toggles and Frogs. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Frogs are decorative garment closures formed from loops of braid and sewn onto garments.  Like Toggles they eliminate the need for buttonholes.  Unlike toggles, that are usually used for heavy-weight garments, frogs are usually used on delicate fabrics or on fabrics where buttonholes may fray.  Also a button element is worked into the braid on one half of  the two piece closure and the loop is integrated into the other half.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are beautiful embellishments for any garment, but especially blouses and jackets.  <\/span><\/div>\n
