    yes there are loops that go around the buttons.  is there any easier way to hook the loops rather than by hand, like by using a tool?

    You can find lovely vintage button hooks in antique stores.  Ladies used them to button up their high-button shoes around the turn of the 20th century, and they came with dresser sets. I inherited two from my great-grandmother.

    You might suggest this as a nice shower or wedding gift from a relative.

    I second the button hooks.

    This site has some examples:
