We found this cute all cotton shirt while back to school shopping. In the dressing room, we also noticed that two buttons were missing and one extra came with the shirt. The salesperson offered a 10% discount as is. The style and fabric are difficult to mimic so a purchase was made. The discount did not even cover the cost of the thread and buttons purchased to make the garment wearable. Never the less, it provided a great opportunity to practice thread and button matching as well as handsewing. Of course, an exact button match could not be found so we moved the cuff buttons to the front of the shirt and replaced the cuff buttons with clear buttons.
