Should A Shirt Be Buttoned Top-To-Bottom Or Bottom-To-Top?
don't force a shirt to be buttoned in a way they are uncomfortable with! just love the shirt for being a shirt!
Whatever is easier for the person. There is no hard-and-fast rule.
With a seam ripper, I carefully enlarge buttonholes, removing one or two threads.
This makes buttoning easier, especially with cold fingers. To my delight, I found a hiking shirt with snaps. Love it.
Sometimes I start in the middle. I'm a rebel!
