Ah - yes, it would be wise to have the zip fully concealed - I have put zips into costumes too often, I never thought of doing it any other way.

Metal zips can be dangerous if not fully covered - not just for their hair snagging but also heat conducting properties. I have seen a long and very painful burn produced by a heavy gauge metal zip just exposed to sunlight and a smaller but no less painful one from a cooking fire.

Nylon ones can be melted onto the skin, so care needs to be taken.
