Side-seam zippers just make sense. They are handy, easy to access, and from a design standpoint, fairly unobtrusive. The garment's back is left undisturbed, a better option than interrupting a beautiful print or a pretty lace with a prominently placed zipper. Side seams are often shaped, though, and that can be a problem with a zipper in the seam. You can't clip the seam allowances or zipper tape to accommodate a curve. Or can you? Actually, you can build in a beautiful curve while you install a lapped zipper successfully and easily by hand.
