How to make a Zipper Dress

How to make a Zipper Dress

As many of you request it, I made the little black dress with zipper! I hope you all find the courage to make it, so one night you can stand out among your friends for sure! A lot of my girl friends already asked me, if they get one too! :) Youl will need: elastic gabardine, zipper, pins, sewing machine, chalk or pencil

First Step
Picture #1 and Picture #2:  Fold the fabric to cut even, there'll be two pieces of fabric first we'll work with the zipper.


                                                 Dobla la tela para cortar igualmente, te quedarán dos piezas de tela, con una solo trabajaremos el cierre.


Picture #3 and Picture #4: With a help of a top, mark the shape (this will be the shape of the dress, so use a top that fits your body)

                                                Con la ayuda de un Top, marca la forma de la misma (Este sería la forma del vestido, asi que utiliza un Top que sea de tu medida y por sobre todo que te quede bien)


Picture #5 and Picture #6 and Picture #7: After you finished drawing the shape, secure the two pieces of fabric with pins and then cut

                                                                           Luego de que hayas terminado de dibujar la forma, asegura ambas piezas de tela con los alfileres y luego corta.

This lady is amazing. Beautiful, talented and classy. She the female MacGyver. Give her a tee shirt and she can make anything. I watch just to see how she creates all these things

Great instruction,
Not interested in sewing a dress, but a sleeping bag. Your video has showed several helpful points. No words just visual instruction, awesome.

Giannyl,

I'm sure it's a wonderful little black dress, but I for one will never have the courage to make one of these and wear it out for a night on the town. :)
