Which buttons?

I'm too mean cheap frugal to want to buy any buttons when I have so many in my personal resource centre. However, this dress needs at least 12 buttons which again knocks down my choices. So, I've got 4 ideas - can you please let me know which you prefer.

So many beers, so little time.

Same here - number 4.   :thumb:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

No 2 or no 4. It's going to be a lovely dress!

No 4.
A day without sewing is a day wasted.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

I'm a 2 or 4 (black "design" buttons) as I think they add a nice touch to the solid color.  The first ones are too plain and to my eyes the lighter 3 isn't quite right with that red.
