Zipper placement

Maya

I need help determining where my zipper should sit on my new jacket. I can't seem to find a comfortable place for it over my chest. It seems to draw too much attention to the girls (actually, only one girl), and that really bugs me. I did not seem to notice this when I bought it. It could just be my own personal issues with my chest though.

Which one of these looks the least bad?

I think I'm going to rule out the last two, unless there are any objections. Any ideas?

Is there a particular reason you don't want to zip it the way Angie has it in the picture from the post? I think that looks great - it creates a nice "v." (If you're worried about warmth, what about wearing a scarf?)

Maya, I think the first picture looks good, the others are a bit odd. The chest issue would never occur to me if you didn't mention it. I also agree with Tarzy about the picture from the post. By the way, I didn't get a chance to compliment you on the blog, but the jacket it amazing! I also really liked your write-up.

Heh Maya this confused me. For some reason I thought you were talking about the belt placement and I was getting confused because it looked the same to me in all pics!!

Clearly my morning coffee has not yet kicked in!

Anyway the jacket is gorgeous!! I like #2 the best I think!

I like the way it's zipped in the blog post too! I also think the first two pics work well. Don't worry about the "sweet spot". Sort of zip it up to create a V and leave it. It does not draw extra unnecessary attention to the girls at all. It’s KILLER. Take my word for it.

I think they all look fine, except perhaps for #4, and that's only because it makes the jacket sit a bit odd and not because it draws attention to your chest. As an impartial bystander I can assure you that all people will see is how fabulous you look in your gorgeous jacket!

I thought option #2 was similar to how I had it in the blog. Well, I will try and keep it consistent at least.

And thanks Marianne

I like the first 2. The third one is okay. Don't care for the last one--looks sloppy.

I saw you in reality in this jacket Maya, and you look absolutely incredible. Id din;t make want to look at your chest at all. I like the way you have it zipped on the blog and then on photos #2 and 1.
