I did something similar with my 1905 skirt. I knew I had black, white, and silver hooks and eyes, so I didn't buy any. But the skirt is black, so of course I wanted to use black. Did I have the black hooks and eyes I wanted to use? No. In the size I wanted, I had 6 hooks and 6 BARS. I wanted eyes. DRAT! I ended using a smaller set of hooks and eyes and it's fine, but I wished I'd just bought more.
