Dianyla,
Oh my goodness....
I like the visual image you gave with your description.
I'm sorry..it was just a very good one and made me giggle.
I do know what you mean about the zippers being stiff, and I am just an average sized gal here.
I am sorry I cannot be of more help to Beth Ro... But, I really do like that Iris one also. Go ahead and call or e-mail the ladies at Team Estrogen- they can assist you.
