What could have me so offended, you wonder?
The exposed zipper.
Just look for yourselves at this abomination of fashion.
Ugh.
Awful.
Really?
Absolutely RIDICULOUS!
Call me a purist, but I just feel like there are some elements of construction which should remain hidden. This isn't a beautifully rough hewed log home with exposed beams. It's a party dress.
Plus, it's just offensive when I work so damn hard to make sure my zippers go in, stay in, and are hidden.
Seriously - there are far, far better ways in my mind to create an embellishment on a garment.
This just seems cheap and tacky.
And if I'm going to pay $298 for a dress like this
It sure as HELL shouldn't have a big ol' ugly zipper on the back of it. (I can't find a picture online of the back, but I saw it in a catalog. Trust me: Big. Ugly. Zipper.)
Blech.

I SO AGREE!!! Nothing says "80's mobile home trash" like this trend.
I agree also. I can't stand that look. sorry put zippers are not pretty, attractive or appealing to the eye. Keep it hidden.
Good. Now when I'm quietly cursing exposed zippers whilst shoppping I will know I'm not alone. :)
Unrelated - the new issue of Garden and Gun has an amazing article about Southern women and it made me think of you! http://gardenandgun.com/article/new-southern-belle
I went shopping today and saw tons of cute dresses...with ugly zippers. It made the look cheap.
This post completely cracked me up. And, I do agree with you. But what made it so entertaining were the pithy remarks about "the exposed zipper." Reminded me of one of my favorite blogs: What Not to Crochet. http://whatnottocrochet.wordpress.com/ If you haven't seen this blog, you've got to check it out. And keep the pithy comments coming.
