為什么女式襯衣的扣子縫在左前襟?

不知您注意過沒有,很多女式襯衣的扣子是縫在左邊的前襟的,扣眼在右邊的前襟;而男士的卻恰好相反。這可是有著悠久的歷史的。到底是什么原因呢?請看下文。
Men's shirts have the buttons on the right, but women's blouses have the buttons on the left. This is more than just a way to tell whether a shirt is for men or women. There is a historical reason for it.
During the Victorian period, buttons were quite expensive, and were mostly worn by rich people. Since proper, well-to-do ladies were dressed by their servants, and most people are right-handed, their buttons were placed on the servant's right, which is the wearer's left side. However, most gentlemen dressed themselves, so their buttons were placed on the wearer's right side.
Those who could not afford servants copied the style of the wealthy, and women's buttons thereafter remained on the left.
