Hey everyone! Sorry I forgot to mention the kind of zipper I used in this tutorial, but to clear up some confusion: Yes you can sew over the zipper if its those light weight zippers with plastic teeth. No, you CAN'T sew over the zippers with metal teeth :) If you want to use a zipper with metal teeth, make sure its the exact length you need it to be so you won't have to make any adjustments to it :D Hope this makes sense! +novacane +xnightdreamer

You saved my life!! I was so worried and didn't know how to sew a zipper onto a dress so I was asking my friend's mom but she didn't answer, and I was reading the instructions but it didn't tell me! As a last resort I chose YouTube and thankfully I did!

Thank you so much April I’ve never sewn zipper into fabric, this is $$$$ fabric too but I am going to watch you do that again before I attempt. Been watching your transformations for a long while but what really impressed me is your design you are a true designer thank you for showing me/us❤️🎃
