The exposed zipper seems very out of place on that dress. Great dress other than that.

The industrial zippers look good on some items -- jackets, purses, slinky black dress -- but that one doesn't fit the style of the dress at all.


ITA with this! What a beautiful dress though. The color would look terrible on me, but DD would look spectacular! Smiley Happy

Agreed!

I think an invisible zipper would have been much better!

I love the dress and the fact that one could wear a regular bra with it, as another poster said. I'm not crazy about the exposed zipper and I wonder if swapping it out for a hidden one would be possible?

I agree that the zipper should match.  The color contrast is not a plus.  What were they thinking?  It's a nice dress except for that and the cutouts.  I would never wear those cutouts, but they'd be great on someone who could carry it off.

the dress is more of a formal dress and the zipper is too casual.  they don't work together.  exposed zippers don't work well with formal or dressier outifts imo.

I agree that the zipper is a no-go. But so is the color combo. It reminds me of Pepto Bismol, lol. Sky blue paired with cornflower blue would be nice, IMO... or mint green with teal.

I don't like exposed zippers. 

 

I've put back several things when I see it has an exposed zipper.
