 Dear Nehzat,

Please advise if the adjustment to the back dart and side seam while affixing the invisible zipper (as explained by you in the panel dress video) is  also to be done when drafting an Aline skirt, if the Aline skirt is to have a similar invisible zipper.

Regards,

Re: Invisible zipper for A Line Skirts

Dear yvelyn,

Yes if you are going to sew and invisible zipper in your A line skirt. Then you need to follow the same instructions as in the panel dress sewing video lesson. 

However if you intend to sew a standard zipper in the center back, you do not need to do all the extra steps shown in the panel dress sewing video lesson. This is because standard zippers are less stiff and can take the contour of the body better than invisible zippers and therefore will not stick out at the bottom.

Hope this helps.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
