Default ladies dress pants

Please help decide a discussion between my daughter and me. My training is that
ladies dress pants zip on the side or down the back. Her claim is that modern
styles include front zip with a fly styles for ladies dress pants.

This is not really a big deal. The daughter is old enough to make her own
choices. The whole reason this even came up is she is plotting her wardrobe for
being a public school teacher. She did not like my suggestion of combat gear.
Hey I trained to teach and found I could not face a public class room. Any way,
I do not enjoy installing front fly zippers in pants. The daughter claims she
will only where front fly zipper pants for work, any thing else is her causal
wardrobe.

Personally, I think I will go ahead, be stubborn, and make her some back zip
dress pants complete with jackets. If she wears them only for causal, so be it.
Her loss, not mine. LOL


Hey Mom,
I haven't even found a pair of RTW with a back or side zip in years.
Fly front isn't all that hard. there are lots of tutorials if you google.
If that's her choice why not give her what she wants.
