Think about it – before the popularity of electricity, many folks had to start their day before the sun even rose. That meant getting dressed in the dark or by the soft glow of candlelight. And let’s be honest, trying to tie a ribbon behind your back accurately in low light? Not the easiest task. So, our clever ancestors decided to tie that ribbon right in the front, where they could actually see what they were doing.
