If you're looking for Dorset Buttons for the shirt, there is a seller on etsy that makes them: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DorsetButtony?ref=seller_info<br /><br />I'm sure there are other sellers that have them, too, that was just the first one I came across. I've been planning to make this pattern, so it was really helpful to hear what changes you'd make!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10977848172139650887noreply@blogger.com
