Blauner said that mass production of fashion has taught him, for instance, that women' like dresses with back zippers. even if they sometimes get stuck. But we loathe backless dresses, no matter how cool they may be on a scorching day. He said the back-zipper proved itself this spring when a cape-collared dress of white and navy dotted silk surah failed to click-although he figured it as a natural best seller. Designer Evelyn Simpson told him the back zipper had been ruled out, so that the big collar need not be split. Zipper Brings Sales "That's what's wrong," said the manufacturer. "Split the collar and put a zipper up the back." He said he sold 100, 000 of the model. From his visits to the stores, Blauner has compiled these reactions of women to certain styles.
