Thanks everyone!
Kyle, where were you in Ireland? I can easily understand why people fall in love with the country.
Maya; for you my dear, anything! I'll measure them when I get home from work tomorrow and let you know.
Tam, I know you'll pull off OTK boots quite well!
Rute, Shana & Sihaya, I'll pass the photo compliments onto Alan as he is my wonderful and talented photographer.
Lena, the buttons came sewn onto the waistcoat but I'm sure it would be quite easy to replicate with any decorative buttons. Here is a detail shot for you: http://adressandabike.files.wo.....c11905.jpg
Julie, yes I did go to pantomimes when I was younger! I do get the Peter Pan vibe from the boots as well as Pirates of the Caribbean vibes!
