...are, in fact, boy's shirts. Of course.

Maybe not assuming "male" as default might be the answer?

not sure what the fuss is.
My dds hate the 'girls' shirts, because they have narrow sleeves which are shorter. They are also narrower in body and so less comfortable.

I have always bought 'boys' shirts, and dds are very happy and comfortable in them.

The whole issue of buttons is a non issue for me anyway as half my shirts etc are mens.

Maybe a zip is the answer

They could have done a two pack with one of each way of f buttoning.

Maybe they should have done alternating buttons? Grin that could have been interesting in a rush!

Isn't that better than having girl ones with heart buttons? (Like the trousers)

Gileswithachainsaw · 02/09/2016 23:07

Well surely there's only two ways they could button and would kids even notice anyway?

BertrandRussell · 02/09/2016 23:06

Yep. They are straight up and down shirts that button the boy's way. And they are being sold as "unisex".

In what way? Is it to do with the way they button?
