It seems like it was intentionally done so that the chiffon layer can 'float' over the fabric underneath it. If the chiffon had been sewn down to the zipper, it would be stuck flat in that spot and probably look odd, and if that open part in the chiffon had been sewn closed, you wouldn't be able to pull the zipper down all the way.
I have a misty sky skirt that has that exact same finishing. The zipper is on the lining and the chiffon over it has a slit that is hemmed but not connected. It's completely normal! It's not a "hole" nor is the dress coming apart. You can even see the stitches along the bottom where the slit ends, it's stitched over in the V shape. If it was falling/pulled apart, there would be loose threads!
Wow, that's really bad. I also think the post here is not very honest. That's a huge gaping hole with tons of ripped threads coming out of it, there's no way that someone who remotely checked that dress before listing it didn't see it, yet when I read the post and the pictures of the pink dress with the neatly hemmed slit above the zipper, I thought the person who bought this dress was a total idiot and that the seller was honest. But, you're talking about a totally different part, a part that isn't hemmed, a part that's totally torn. If I were you I would also be very upset, and a simple "sorry for the misunderstanding" really doesn't cover it. I hope you get a partial refund or full refund if you want to send the dress back and get one that isn't totally ripped, especially since looking at the threads on the part that's still attached, the rest of the dress looks like it's about to fall apart, too. At the very least the seller should return to you whatever it costs to repair.

I wasn't aware that the slit below the dress was considered normal - I have this dress in brown and I don't have the same issue.
