1、Insert your zip. It works best with an invisible zip. Ensure your zip ends are even and the two sides of the fabric are perfectly even at the top.

2、Turn under1cm of the lining and press，Do this for both sides of the fabric。

3、Place right side of lining onto the right side of the dress fabric. Put it 1/2cm - 1cm from the centre of the zip.Pin then baste (orange stitches).(you may want to place the lining a little closer to the centre than I have done in this example)

4、When you pin and baste the lining to the outer fabric make sure you don't catch the zip and the fabric to the far side of the zip. Leave that free

5、For both sides, fold the outer fabric along the stitch line towards the inside. Pin and press

6、Undo your zipper. Place the top edges of your fabric even with each other.Feel with your finger where the end "nub" of the zipper is and mark with ruler and chalk across both sides so your stitching line matches up. The line is about 1 - 2mm above the nub.

7、Join the outer to the inner by sewing across the top of both sides.The stitch line is even with the chalk mark.Trim about 1cm from the stitch line. Cut across the corners slightly but ot too close to the stitching.

8、Turn the fabric back to the correct side making sure the corners are nice and square.

Press the top edge flat and pin the lining to the zip.Handstitch the lining to the zip using your favorite invisible stitch. Make sure the stitches do not show on the outer dress fabric.

9、Press your zip on both sides of the garment and sit and admire your perfect zip.

Tip.

Do an approximate fit of your garment and then place your zip in. If you are doing a centre back zip do final fitting at the sides. If you are doing a side zip do the final fitting at the back.
