Which zip colour for this dress (pictures)

Got a lovely new dress which is not particularly well designed in practical terms and is very hard to pull off once on, so I want to add a zip because otherwise I know it will end up ripping when I'm taking it off.

I have two zip options - pictured. Which one is better? I'm going for a fairly obvious zip look. Can't decide between red on white or white on red.

The white one.

I think the red but the white wouldn't be a disaster

LadyCatStark · 22/06/2022 21:02

The white zip with the red tape.

Littleguggi · 22/06/2022 21:02

The white is more of a statement

Littleguggi · 22/06/2022 21:03

*red zip with white tape

TattiePants · 22/06/2022 21:09

Another vote for the white one.

hedwigismyowl · 22/06/2022 21:09

The red one

The red one, love it.

zoomstyle · 22/06/2022 21:13

Oh, hold on, how can you tell if people mean the red zip or the red background? It's confusing!

FWIW by "the red one" I meant the while zip on the red background.

Sisisimone · 22/06/2022 21:15

The one with the red tape looks miles better, the white looks really cheap

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 22/06/2022 21:15

Argh. Don't know what some of you mean.

Red = red tape white zip
White = white tape red zip

The white zipper tape with the red teeth looks best to me (for an exposed zip) I like the contrast it looks a bit like a rib cage...which might not be the look you want!

PaddleBoardingMomma · 22/06/2022 21:16

Red tape white zip 100%!

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 22/06/2022 21:16

Cross post. Glad I'm not the only one a little confused 😂

Thanks for all answers so far (even ones that I can't interpret (my fault for not being clear from outset...)

Red tape, white zip

Bagzzz · 22/06/2022 21:18

I prefer the red tape white zip

EskSmith · 22/06/2022 21:19

White tape, red zip, I think the red tape would show through and ruin the look but white tape, red zip is best anyway.

Lulu1919 · 22/06/2022 21:20

Is it from Tesco . ...

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 22/06/2022 21:24

White definitely

GoldPig · 22/06/2022 21:35

Red tape white zip but not by miles as the other one works too

White tape, red teeth. Will look gorgeous.

Jellykat · 22/06/2022 22:20

Red, it would compliment the white bordered by red detail in the print.

Bagzzz · 22/06/2022 22:31

Would love to see the finished garment when you’re done @BewareTheBeardedDragon

Elfbeth · 22/06/2022 22:34

Definitely the white zip on red tape if your going for the statement zip look
