Taken from The Delienator magazine, the bodice/jacket in the top right has 25 buttons and the lower left jacket has 17 plus 12 on the vest. They sure loved their button closures! For a successful reproduction, look for a 3/8″ size. You could also get away with 1/2″ and *maybe* 5/8″.

Say, would we construct 9019 with a vest and that the vest would be able to close at CF and that the edges of the jacket would never close? Just love this jacket and her sisters…..
So, it’s a bustle dress for me next. I really want to make a coat like the lower left one to go with it! Haven’t decided on a dress pattern yet, or even what its for! 🙂

Yes, that is the idea.
