I then read 5 books about how to make button loop closures. The best instructions were in my vintage 1961 "Singer Dressmaking Course" book - Here's a snap of the lovely illustrations!
I found some appropriate buttons, and measured my desired spacing on the garment. I collected some double-stick tape and a piece of paper and started to place my loops.
I decided to simply put the loop into the seam allowance that was there for the zipper - this worked well.
The loop closure is really very pretty & comfortable. I'm glad I tried to learn something new instead of just installing another zipper.
I still have to hem the peplum, and then take some final photos.
