All brides should be aware that a fitted dress shouldn't be altered so much that it's putting excessive stress on the zipper.

Note Sophia Vergera's wardrobe malfunction at last Sunday's Emmy Awards.  Twenty minutes before Sophia was to appear onstage to accept her award, her zipper popped [exposing her lovely thong underthing] because the dress was "too tight" at the hips.  Modern zippers, made of plastic, can't withstand as much stress as a sewn seam.  When fitted too tight, a zipper will "pop."  It doesn't mean that the zipper was defective or that the seamstress did something wrong.  It only means that the lady wearing the dress insisted on a dress that was too tight.

Give it a little "wiggle room," ladies!

P.S.

Today Katic Couric interviewed Sophia Vergara on her show.  When asked about the wardrobe malfunction on Sunday night, Sophia said, "Yes and it happened again today before your show in the Green Room."  Katic asked, "what do you think is happening?"  To which Sophia replied, "I don't know, I think perhaps they were made too tight!"
