Reply To: how to install a zipper in an already made skirt

[the_professors_assistantKeymaster]

You can definitely install a zipper in this skirt but it would require some work. If the skirt has side seams I would probably put the invisible zipper there. The biggest issue is the waistband. Is there a seam in the waistband where it can be broken apart without cutting it? If not, you might have to remove the waistband, put in the invisible zipper on the side seam and then put in a new waistband to finish it off. It’s hard for me to know for sure without seeing it in person. Another idea, is maybe taking it to a local dry cleaner alterations place and just inquire into putting in an invisible zipper (and how much?) and with their expert eye looking into it, they might give you some hints.
