For me the tail of the belt is usually on the left. I don't know that there IS a "proper" way for a woman's belt to go. I wear mine that way because it's just more natural for me. And I'm sort of left handed, but also sort of right handed (quasi-ambidextrous). Some things I can only accomplish as a lefty - writing, drawing, etc, and other things as a righty - scissors, pot stirring, etc. The worst is that I both catch and throw with my right hand, which made it tough to pass high school gym class during softball season. :) Kate the Weirdly Wired
