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.

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.
