I’m adding a zipper to the front of a dress that has a front seam so my breast-feeding daughter will have easy access. Do you think it would be weird to use an invisible zipper? The dress (see attached) is a simple loose-ish shift, but it has a decorative placket around a neck opening so I don’t want to do an exposed zipper that would draw too much attention. Should I do a traditional zipper with centered application, or go ahead and install an invisible zipper? Thanks for your advice.

I think an invisible zipper would be the perfect solution! The only thing you would see is the small zipper pull. Go for it!
