But I can't decide on which buttons I should put on the jacket! So here's your chance to tell me what to do...
The flower buttons:
Or the vintage black buttons...
All buttons are from M&J Trimmings and I will give a full update on the jacket tomorrow after I review the votes.
I also cut out a 4-gore TNT skirt, the Simplicity 3631 dress (yes, I am making it again) and a pair of lined TNT pants.
So tell me what you think!

Sounds like a very fun, productive weekend! I like the vintage black buttons....more sophisticated.

The vintage black ones! More elegant!
I like them both too! But I think the size of the flower ones suits the style of jacket better.

I like the flower buttons. They are whimsical but they really would make the jacket pop. That would make me stop and look at your jacket and think, "Wow, now that's a really cute jacket". Choices, choices!
I like both sets of buttons but the flower ones made the jacket pop more on my monitor. Either set would be a winner in my opinion.
I like both sets of buttons, but I vote for the flower buttons. I like the size of them better than the vintage. ... great jacket, btw!
Flowers, please!

I like the flowers.
I really like the flower buttons, but for this project, I think I will go with the vintage buttons.
Flower!! :-D -Jeanette (jemgirlca)
I like the flower ones too...
I prefer the vintage buttons. They are more elegant and subtle, and I think blend better with the fabric. Either way would be great, though! Karent
I like the vintage buttons. But, this does lead me to ask how long have you had them for them to count as vintage??
I can't wait to see what you've done with your jacket. And boy do I love that color.
I really like the flower buttons. They make the jacket more special
Okay - I'm going to be difficult. I like the look of the vintage buttons better - I agree with all the others that say they look more sophisticated - however, I think they are too small. The flower buttons look to be a better size, but I'm not loving the design of them for this garment - too cutesy. So, I guess neither button is perfect to my eye. Now, if I was forced to choose, I'd pick the vintage buttons.
Hum.... I agree with Shannon on the size matter; I love both buttons (as far as I can see from the pictures), but for this jacket I think I like the vintage ones better if only they were a little bigger... But ultimately this is your choice and whatever you chose this is going to be a gorgeous jacket!
I like the flower buttons.
BTW, what does TNT stand for?
The vintage for me, but agree with Shannon and Tany that they seem a bit small. Seems like you have to choose for yourself, there's no consensus. It will be a beautiful jacket, whichever you choose.
They are both nice but I like the black vintage ones best.
I agree with everyone who's said the vintage buttons are not quite big enough. I like the flowers, though, for a bit of whimsy. I think because they are black, on a black jacket, they don't look *too cutesy.*
I like the size of the flower button best, too, but prefer the design of the vintage. Are the vintage ones available in a larger size?
I love the flower buttons. They spoke to me right away. You can't go wrong with the vintage- they are in such good taste.
But the flower buttons are so fun.
Lucky lucky you- you have access to M&J Trim.
I'd get lost in there and need to be rescued.
The flower buttons stand out nicely.
I like both too, but agree that the vintage would be the one to go with if they were a bit larger. What type of fabric is the jacket? Can't wait to see what you decide!
I like the look of the vintage buttons best,but agree that they need to be a bit bigger. Either way, your jacket is looking fabulous!
Well, we all like to put in our 2 cents, don't we? I agree, vintage buttons are more sophisticated and elegant.
I am probably too late to the party, but if not, then I would go for the flower ones. However, I think larger buttons would look pretty cool....if you have any?
I like the vintage.
