I’d like to point out that it makes undressing a person of the opposite button-direction easier. Because they’re facing you but your finger muscles are trained from undressing yourself. So just maybe all the stuff about servants is bowdlerizing the real purpose. Nobody was helping lowerclass women, and rich men had valets.

It’s because gentry had servants button women into their clothes.

As a woman myself I find it easier to button my husband’s shirt than my daughter’s. Because my hands know how to do my own, facing in the opposite direction on my body.

I want my clothes to be put together with dovetail joints. Who do I go to for that?

Zippers are basically flexible dovetail joints. Take a look at one when it’s done up.
You’ve got the same interlocking pattern often with fat tips

I wonder if there’s a designer out there exclusively making clothes with zippers for all stitches.
in all honesty though i’ve had too many zippers get f’d up in effectively every hoodie and winter jacket i’ve owned. I need something a bit more reliable. Maybe the answer is human hair thread stitching or cast plates and chain stitching.

That thing looks amazing. Now I just need a kilt version with some kind of shirt and blazer for formal events.
4 hoursI noticed this with one of my kids shirts. The buttons are backwards for easy dressing. Doesn’t explain half my zip hoodies which are the wrong way round however.
