The button holes have been reinforced/repaired from the inside, specifically the two below the waist. The buttons are ever so slightly too big for the holes so take a bit of coaxing but present fine once in place. Dress is other clean and ready to wear with no other issues of note.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
