Based on the picture of a shirt very similar to hers that the OP linkedin a later post, that “one button” is right at her nipple level, with no other buttons above it so it uncovers her bosom if it comes undone. That’s my understanding of the situation at least. ---

I was picking up a computer modem from a company here in town, and everything was going well. Then the computer guy started to act really…odd. I didn’t think anything of it and just headed for home. When I arrived, I glanced in the mirror and discovered that my blouse was wide open in the boobage area, and my bright red, lacy bra, with boobs, was hanging out for all to see. He probably thought I was trying to get a deal on the modem. :rolleyes: 😃 Anyhow - good luck with that - I hope you manage to keep the girls restrained. 😃 FWIW, I too vote for heading in and asking for a raise… ---

With all the injustices in the world today, showing a little primo cleavage can only be a good thing, right? ---

I’m having a wardrobe malfunction too except mine involves dumping gyro sauce down the front of my blouse. I’ve christened the girls. Alice and Gertrude are their names. Good luck with the bottons. You have my sympathies. My company gives away purse sized mending kits as promotional items. That little thing has come in handy more than once. ---

This is why I almost never go anywhere without a safety pin in my wallet. If the button holds, the shirt gaps. If the shirt doesn’t gap, the button won’t hold. Stupid button-up shirts! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wardrobe-malfunction/322359.md?page=1)
