As part of my pattern cutting unit we have been looking at a wide variety of the different zips added to garments in the clothing industry. I bought a dress from a fashion shop and realized the zip was broken !! Luckily I recognized the type of zip it was (invisible zip) and can fix it in college not only am I going to be able to amend my dress but its helping develop my pattern cutting skills...
Above is the broken zip this is where the end of the zip had come away...Following on from this i had to un pick the zip that had been sewn into the seams of the dress
I then looked in my pattern cutting folder to see what a invisible zip looked like and then followed my step by step guide...From looking at my step by step guide i followed the various step i pined a grey invisible zip into the over locking so i could hold the zip in place whilst I began to tack.
Dress with the grey zip added above. In conclusion to altering my dress I could of looked at a variety of different options of zips or had a zip that completely matches the colour of the dress instead I wanted to have the grey zip as a feature in my dress.

that's a lovely dress and it wasn't such a disaster after all since you made it work. Nice job :)
