When buttons were
invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich.
Since most
people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through

Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put
the buttons on the maid's right.
And that's where women's buttons have
remained since.
