Was it possible for queen Victoria to fasten her gown zipper?

No, because Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901 and the modern zipper was not made until 1914. (Gideon Sundback's invention of the "Hookless Fastener No. 2" in 1914 was the first version of the zipper without any major design flaws and essentially indistinguishable from modern zippers.)

Why do pants have zipper?

Before the zipper was invented in 1913 to close clothing required laces or buttons. When it was first invented it was called clasp locker and originally it was only used on boots and tobacco pouches. It took 20 years to convince the fashion industry to use it. In the 1930's a sales campaign began for children's clothing with zippers and in 1937 French fashion used the zipper instead of buttons on men's trousers. The next big thing in zippers was when zippers could open both ends like on jackets.


What were zippers first used for?

The first zippers, dating back to about 1913, were used for fastening boots and shoes. Zippers were not used on clothing until the 1930's.
