Typical 50s dresses had side zippers, from underarm into the skirt.
They're much easier to reach! I used to put them in my square dance
dresses (and make many women ask how I got into them!).

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

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.
