Why is the lady's button on the left?

Buttons become real buttons only when they find practical value. Then there is its nailing method. At that time, ladies, ladies and gentlemen dressed as servants. In order to facilitate the opposite button, it is convenient for the servant to nail the button on the left side of the clothes-the flexible right hand holds the button and plugs it into the hole opened by the left hand. In order to meet the needs of life and production, working-class women also nail buttons on the left side of their clothes. Only in this way can they hold the nursing child in their arms with their left hand, and the right skirt naturally covers the child's head, while freeing up their right hand to work. At that time, men often encountered the danger of gladiators or battles. In order to prevent the right hand holding the sword from freezing or let the right hand easily take out hidden weapons hidden in the clothes, the seamstress tried her best to nail the button on the right side of the clothes for convenience. In this way, the nailing method of buttons "female left and male right" has become a tradition, which has continued since the Middle Ages. According to records, at first, buttons were made very simply, using only shells, screws, copper or gold and silver, wood and other raw materials. With the development of handicraft industry, some people invented cloth buttons in the shape of grape knots, and gradually increased the patterns.
