Getting it JUST RIGHT - the Quid Est way

You are so RIGHT about the buttonholes Quid Est puts together!
You know what its like, getting ready for a wedding... there are so many things to remember, and all those bits and pieces to go with the kilt.
I try to drop into Quid Est a week before I need the buttonholes. If I'm collecting something for my date/mother/granny, I take along something she'll be wearing to the wedding.
The owner then makes sure it matches the outfit! She even gets the tartan on my little thistle-style buttonhole just right.
She'd shrug you away if you said it to her face, but Eleanor is indeed our own little local miracle-worker!
