Why are the buttons not on the same side for both sexes? So much stuff is unisex nowadays anyway! |

Mens’ buttons are on the right side because men have always tended to dress themselves and most men (and women, for that matter) are right-handed. |

Mens trousers and jeans had button flies before they had zips Joan. 19th century fall front trousers must have been more of a faff to deal with :-0 |

Try ordering from the Ideal Shopping Channel. They have their own range of clothing sizes so for ladies who are larger than they ought to be. |
