Abstract: A decorative button cover assembly for trousers and other types of clothing to be worn as a fashion accessory. The assembly includes an elongated slider bar that establishes a constrained path configured to guide a button captive back-and-forth. A snare is attached to one end of the slider bar and a bracket to the other end, and has an aperture configured to receive and then trap the head of the button. The aperture is bounded on one side by an interior stopper edge. The bracket has a standoff portion and a mounting portion. A decorative cover is supported from the mounting portion of the bracket and spaced from the slider bar. In use, the assembly is inextricably trapped between under- and over-flap sections of the trousers, and yet the decorative cover is moveable toward and away from a position directly overlying the button head.
