“The scoop neck style doesn’t fit brilliantly for those with narrow shoulders, small back & big bust, as there was an over abundance of fabric over the upper bodice and droop over the top of the bust -and I don’t usually have this as an issue. I was surprised as the fabric certainly has enough stretch to work with different body types. 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.”
Dear Melanie,
Thank you for providing us with your detailed review. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are grateful for the opportunity to address your concerns.
We understand the scoop neck style may not provide the best fit for those with narrow shoulders, a small back, and a larger bust. Your insight regarding the excess fabric over the upper bodice and the drooping over the bust is valuable, and we will take it into consideration for future designs. Our aim is to create dresses that accommodate various body types comfortably, and your experience helps us improve.
We acknowledge that the inclusion of a long zip in stretch jersey dresses might not be necessary and can pose challenges, especially for those with upper body mobility issues. We apologize for the discomfort caused by the zip, particularly if it led to itching and welts. We will investigate the material used in our zippers to ensure they are suitable for sensitive skin and will consider incorporating a zip flap in all dresses to prevent potential allergies and improve comfort.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are committed to enhancing our designs and ensuring our dresses are accessible and comfortable for all our customers.
Warm regards,
Dolly and Dotty
