Like many historical mysteries, we can't completely solve the mystery.
There are several reasons for the opposite direction of men and women. The most agreed with the statement is this: in the past, especially in the Vitoria era; those who are elegant upper class clothing are usually very complicated. The ladies clothes are mostly made from the maid to help wearing buttons on the left, so the servants more convenient operation. Most men like to dress themselves, so the button on the right. That sounds reasonable, but it's not without flaws. This means that most of the women had maids at the time, and that's not the case.
Some people think that some of the top people in the fashion to pick the right left button, so in order to follow the tide, those women who do not have the maid will follow the direction of the button. However, this argument ignores an important fact: in the past, the elite men usually require servants help dress, because their clothes buttons very much, especially before nineteenth Century; while women's clothing on rarely used buttons. Although it was for men without women's clothing is so complicated, do not need to wear a petticoat beneath his clothes; but no upper class men servants dressed this is wrong. So why is it so thoughtful for the maid burden? Not to buckle more buttons his button direction change?
Moreover, the self of the upper class people really will take into account the extent of this? In addition, why should they suddenly change the position of the button in the middle of the nineteenth Century, rather than do it earlier? In eighteenth Century, many women's buttons on the right side, as men's clothing. The first half of nineteenth Century, this situation began to change, to the second half of nineteenth Century, women's buttons in the left has been completely open.
