I doubt it not. I've not researched it at all, actually. But I had a friend  
who used to collect vintage, and I can't recall a dress that overlapped left  
over right. But that's no definitive observation.
 
I wonder how WHAT the garment is affects this. I mean, is one more likely  to 
find jackets that overlap left to right than say a dress or blouse? Jackets  
were sorta coming into their own in the 1860's after a few decades of 
domination  by the dress with skirt attached.
