A Dorset button is a style of heritage craft-made button that originating in the English county of Dorset. Originally made in the homes of Dorset farm works, generally by the women, as piece work in the evenings after labouring on the land etc during the day, as a way to supplement their income. They were used on clothing when the fashions no longer wanted to use a tie up type closure and wanted something more secure. These sort of buttons peaked between 1622 and 1850, after which they were overtaken by machine-made buttons.
Designed by Donna Morgan in Carmarthen
