Ok, so i finally found a Jason Wu top at Target (it's the short sleeve blue navy polka dot top with ribbon tie) and I love it. Got it home and one of the snap buttons on the sleeve popped off. I called the store and they did a district search but this was the last one in my size anywhere. So, can this be saved at all? Does anyone know how i can repair this and reattach the button myself? I really want the top and don't want to return it. Help?! (I'm using an ipad this week while at a conference and have no clue how to upload a photo with it)

You can fix it, but you'll probably need a special tool to re-attach a snap button. Here are some links to take a look at:

http://www.ehow.com/how_7163448_replace-snap-button.html

If you don't want to buy the tool and try to figure it out, I bet it's a really cheap fix that a dry cleaner or tailor could do for you. Good luck!
