missing button
Gone from shirt
A missing button is one that has fallen off or was never attached to a garment.
The phrase describes both the absent fastener and the resulting gap in clothing: I can't wear this shirt—there's a missing button.
By extension, missing button can suggest minor incompleteness or a small flaw in something otherwise functional.
