The ladies' zippers, on the other hand ... well again, just see for yourself!
Overall, the ladies' left chest pocket zippers were quite a bit shorter than the men's, but they still varied wildly.
Captain Hernandez's zipper, for example, was very short, appearing to be no more than 3" tall:

| ENT, 4x15 "Affliction" |

Crewman Cutler's zipper appeared to be in the same neighborhood as Captain Hernandez's:

| ENT, 1x13 "Dear Doctor" |

Sometimes the ladies' left chest pocket zippers were about 3-4" tall:

Hoshi's left chest pocket zipper appeared to be about 4" to 4 ½" tall (also keeping in mind that it didn't extend upward as far as many other uniforms' did, especially the men's):

We observed several other female ENT jumpsuits' left chest pocket zippers in the 4-5" range as well:

Others appeared to be a bit taller, perhaps 5":

And others were really, really tall!

So yet again, was there a ideal standard left chest pocket zipper height and positioning?
Based on the available evidence, the most we can deduce regarding the left chest pocket zipper is:
1 - The men's zippers were usually 5 ½" to 6" tall.
2 - The men's zippers were generally positioned such that the centermost edge of the zipper was ½" outward from the centermost edge of the pocket, and the top of the zipper was ½" beneath the upper edge of the pocket.
3 - The women's zippers were generally shorter than the men's, usually 3" to 5" tall.
4 - The women's zippers were generally positioned such that the centermost edge of the zipper was ½" to 1" outward from the centermost edge of the pocket, and the top of the zipper was ½" to 1 ½" beneath the upper edge of the pocket. (How's that for a wide range?!?)
Again - we can't emphasize this enough - these are only loose recommendations!
