The phrase does not sound quite right to me. It might mean that she has been losing her buttons and the blouse has lost another one so she is one/ another button down. But it might refer to something like this:-

Not another button-down blouse!

It sounds like her blouse is being removed one button at a time. I'm not sure how far I want to go with this.

You're slowly walking down a flight of stairs, one step at a time.
At this particular moment in time, you're another step down from where you were a few seconds ago.

Edit. I think Louise's photo is the right solution, but I confess I can't imagine how she found it in four minutes!
