Well, I was prepared to go to the dry cleaners with guns blazing and to stand my ground, but was completely deflated after they brought out the coat. The inside tag says P and doesn't mention anything about delicate or specialist dry cleaning or covering the buttons. Moreover, they had covered...
I'm starting to think that it is really the dry cleaners fault after all. I'll drag hubby there tomorrow to have a look. They did say if I could cut the buttons off, they could clean it again and think the dye would disappear, but I'd have to attach the buttons again. And obviously the buttons...
Not sure how much you are willing to spend, but I would contact some of the Etsy millinery shops and see if they can custom make her one to the size required. I am sure there are several who would!

I didn't cry, but I did phone the local trading standards office and they gave me templates for letters to write and also said I had possibly two cases and could pursue both or either one. The shop has no emailed me back and asked for photos of the damage, after which...

To be fair, I am told that I haven't changed much since I was a teenager, apart from changing my hair colour and style. I have gained weight, but only because I injured my foot and exercise much less than I used to and...
