opening continued down into the skirt as just an
open placket - no buttons or other closure in the skirt, just a wide
overlap.
The classic shirtwaist buttons down the front, with a placket in the skirt;
however, this works best with a pleated or gathered skirt so the overlap covers
the placket opening--wouldn't work so well with a gored skirt, unless it was
also gathered.

When I was a little girl in the 1050's, my dresses had buttons on the center
back on the bodice, and the opening continued down into the skirt as just an
open placket - no buttons or other closure in the skirt, just a wide
overlap.

Subject: [h-cost] help/advice needed re: closure
I'm making a 50's-ish sundress for my daughter. It has a fitted, boned
bodice with a gathered skirt. The pattern was designed with a zipper in the
center back seam. I've modified the skirt to have four gores. Can I put a
zipper in that will have to kink off to one side to follow the gore? What
would be a good closure? Everything I think of would be difficult for her
to fasten in the back.
