Dina replied:



{chuckle} No, I'm buying the shirts for myself and have to try them on. 
Half my shirts are from the men's section.  I have broad shoulders and a
men's medium-sized shirt is comfy.

I just heard the reason why the buttons were on different sides related
to
an old tradition.



Yb's answer:

I believe Dina is close, but not quite. The "old tradition" you speak of
is that men were expected to dress 

themselves, but upper-class women had handmaids to dress them, so the
buttons were reversed on women's 

button-ups to be in the correct direction according to the handmaids'
point-of-view.
