This could be why the Marines reported identifying the uniforms as those worn by women.

I believe the women's shirts have the buttons on the opposite side of the mens'.

Thanks to the two replies...

so we know that the physical characteristics of the uniforms are different and that the buttons are on the other sides. Any female soldiers posting who can add to this?

Again: what about the uniforms makes them 'distinctive as for females?"
