    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.

      Fashion always follows wealth. If rich people have their clothes made a certain way, regardless of function, everyone else will copy the form.

      That didn’t stop them to use the ‘wrong way’ to lie having those helping hands.
