Exposed Zipper: How to attract Attention to a Dress' Back

5/4/2015

0 Comments

 
Dresses are my favorite garment. I have designed and sewn many - over time I have realized that one of my favorite elements of designing is include interesting details. These details can take even a common silhouette or a simple dress to new heights and can definitely make me (or my customers) feel special and confident. 

Below is an example of my design work. The front of this dress works with horizontal lines. I layered the base fabric with fabrics in other colors and textures, i.e. lace. All of the layers emphasize core areas - shoulders and waist. 

The back of the dress works, to contrast the front, with vertical lines and this is where an interesting detail comes into play. I inserted an exposed white zipper - while the fabric has white in the pattern, the zipper stands out and draws attention. The zipper's position is both functional (it is easy to get in and out of this dress) and aesthetically appealing. 

Each dress I design aims to combine practicality with interesting details ideas. This dress meets my goals well. I like the straightforward silhouette, the length of the sleeves, and the fabric. But I also enjoy the contrast created by the front layering and the back zipper.
