What is the word for that gap between buttons on the front of a shirt or blouse when the person is too big?

For example, the gap in a shirt when a man's belly strains the shirt or a woman's breasts pull the gap open.

    This isn't true.

    Buttons can gap no matter your size or the fit. It depends on the material of the clothing and the space size between buttons.

    It is called: Unsightly Button Gap.

    I don't think there's a scientific word for it. Just call it "gapage". There. Try and get it publshed in the dictionary, but give me credit. LOL

    ...a too small shirt? I dunno. I don't think there's an actual word for that.. maybe watch an episode of TLC's 'What Not To Wear'?
