“The v neck style fits well for those with narrow shoulders, small back & big bust, as well as the fabric having enough stretch to work with different body types -I’m just so impressed it works with mine. With stretch jersey it would appear that having such a long zip in is completely pointless as well as being unsuitable for many upper body mobility issues, not helped that on sensitive skin the zip caused insane itching and welts. I don’t know if the the metal alloy includes nickel, which would be my first guess, but a simple zip flap to protect the skin would be a solution to potential allergies if the zip length doesn’t come in nickel free. It would be simpler to have a flap included on every dress rather than have to request it as individual alteration or removal of zip.”
