Well...

Lots of ALIENS put zippers or use velcro to make parts of the suit for easier ingress/egress.

My chest with 'tailpipes and fin' is built on a zippered vest. The zipper is in the front of the suit, and the
front chest vertebrae cover the zip, held on by velcro.

See ALIEN costume premiere at Halloween
in the non-predator costume section to see pics of my suit.

The tail is held on with a cable to a harness that I wear under the lycra suit, and held in place
by velcro on a custom made piece that matches the tail...
