hi reach - in this context it means that she had buttons all the way down the side
of her dress. in other words, down the full length of her dress.

Re: have down
This statement describes the buttons on the dress. There is a row of buttons that are located on the side of the dress and run from the top to the bottom. This would be a large number of buttons. Imagine the side of the dress having 50 buttons on it.
