    Buttons

    Hi Girls,
    What do you find the most difficult part of dressing? I find the most difficult part of getting dressed is doing up buttons. I got some lovely blouses but I tend to wear the buttonless tops because they are so much easier to put on. Why can't we have unisex buttoning or would that ruin the whole point of CDing? (I love it really)
    Hilary,
    Hugs & XXXXXs

    Random: I believe the buttons on ladies shirts are on the other side because women of class used to be dressed by servants.

    I think of that every time I try to do up some girly buttons - wish I had my servants about

    Thumbs up I love buttons

    and I leave the top one or two unbuttoned, that way as I walk a flash of lace, not only at the hem line, but at the top as well..... Very sexy....

    I see what never was and ask "WHY NOT?"...........

    I can't even type the word. Believe it or not I developed a morbid fear of buttons at a very early age. From asking my parents about it I think I may swallowed one and nearly choked to death or something. Even the thought or sight of buttons used to make me feel physically sick.
    I'm not as bad now but still refuse to wear anything with buttons on.

    Most buttons don't bother me that much, but I will not buy any clothing that has more than one button in the back. It's also a real pain when a button falls off, can't be found, and a replacement that matches the original can't be found.

    I find zippers are a bigger hassle for me.

    I don't use makeup very often (I just dress femme around home), because application and removal would cut into my Internet time, and I don't want to get makeup on my clothing or my wife's clothing (she lets me borrow most of hers and she doesn't use makeup).

    Oh Honey,

    I love buttons, because they are the oppsite of male. They make me feel more fem when I am buttoning a blouse, or skirt to show just enough leg to be tantalizing. After practcing for years when going fem buttons are simply devine (so many types, colors, sizes, etc.)

    Hugs

    Hate, hate, hate, buttons. Can't get the damn things done up in the morning. My hands hurt too much. And why do they have to make them so small?

    buttons

    I love my blouses and sweaters with buttons. I feel so feminine when I am trying to get them fastened with long fingernails. And I particularly love blouses and sweaters with buttons in the back. Such a feminine feeling to have the buttons being fastened for me, and knowing I will have to ask to have them undone.

    Just a part of dressing

    Not only do I love working, cooking, and cleaning in my skirts, but I LOVE the process of dressing. I'm always so excited. From selecting clothes to dolling up with the icing. I've never thought about it, but buttons are a part of that. I have some older blouses that have the buttons up the back too, and I always love wearing them. The ones across the shoulder are also very feminine. Then there's the big button up dresses. Soooo cute.

    Enjoy it all.

    Hugs. Jerry

    I'm not sure if this is true or not...Maybe an urban myth.


    But anyway, if you are right handed your sword is on your left hip. So your clothing needs to close left over right to stop the sword catching on anything when you draw it out. Hence, the buttons on mens clothing.


    Also, as whatsname said, if you are a lady you are dressed by someone else. T'other way round.



    (Sorry whatsname. Can't be bothered reading back)

    I love buttons, especially on a skirts that I buy, where I haven't been able to try them on at the shop. You dash home, try the skirt on, pull the right side over to meet the button on the left and YES it fits.
    Hate buttons, when you cannot do them up because they won't reach.

    Girlie jeans are great, but hate the buttons. As all the womens jeans I like and buy, seem to do up on the drab side.

    My father told me something similar about which side of a lady the man was supposed to walk... but I can't remember - if she's on my left and I draw my sword I could cut her but if she's on my right my elbow goes in her face. Never could remember that one...
