Usually it's very fitted blouses with a wide neck opening, so the zipper opens up at the bottom to let you fit your bust into the blouse and your head into the neckhole (and arms into the sleeves/armhole), then you zip the side up so that the blouse comes down fitted over your waist and isn't loose.

The widest part of your blouse is probably the bust area, if you've enough zipper length to go between that and the waist I'd got for a mockup and baste the zipper in to see what it would really be like to crawl into and out of the blouse. Something with a loose fit or a stretchy fabric it would still work out.

If it really doesn't work out, just keep the zipper for another project -- maybe a purse, or a zippered pocket inside a bag (then you'd need to match the lining, which can be a contrasting colour to the outside of the bag, rather than wait for another project with the exact same colour).

Not much point bending over backwards trying to use scraps that aren't worth the trouble of sewing them up, imo.
