I much prefer buttons. I know I didn’t really have a choice, but I like buttons, and I’m glad I’m a button dress. Zippers are fun and sexy and make that great noise, but they’re risky. I’ve never yet seen a dress with a broken zipper get fixed. You lose a button, it’s pretty easy to find another one. Ten minutes later you’re out the door. You can even use a safety pin. But a zipper … the zipper breaks, and you might as well resign yourself to being crumpled and forgotten in the bottom of the mending basket forever.

The dress has a point – buttons are usually easily replaceable, except when it is an unusual button, and then you have to find 19 matching buttons (for this dress, anyway!)

This is the first dress I’ve seen on your site that I could picture myself wearing, right now at the weight I am. Great choice :-).

And is it just a policy now that plastic zippers must die after a couple of wearings? Sheesh, thank heaven for my alterations shop, no way am I going to tangle with putting a new zipper in when he will do it for like 8 bucks. Including the zipper!
