Button Up, Button Down

When I look at this crocheted dress. . .

. . . a couple of ideas present themselves as possibilities:

1. Someone has a button and/or flap fetish.  
2. The designer was very excited after learning how to incorporate buttons and buttonholes into crochet and went a leeetle bit overboard.

The best part?  It's the fact that each flap has two buttons-- one to keep it closed for modesty's sake (like when you're at work or attending a religious service), and one to keep it opened when you want to show a little (more) skin.  It's perfect for that tricky transition from office to evening out!
