Just when you thought fashion was
getting predictable, along comes the zipper
to put some 'teeth' into it. And while we
still love them to get in and out of our
jeans and jackets, they may have gone
a little too far...on shoes? In front and
back of dresses and skirts? Gimmicky and cute...yes.

Never mind zippers as decoration; they turn garments into casual elements with applied decoration, which is less good design than functional decoration. The worst use of zippers in the plus-size garment is its placement over the abdomen. No figure is flattered by extra layers of fabric and metal in this spot, and it adds bulk to the place no plus-sizer wants to appear larger. The industry could do us a favor by banning all zipper closures over the abdomen.
