I've noticed it other places besides Project Runway......where the zipper is sewn to the outside of the garment and becomes almost an adornment.
Personally I think it looks like the poor schmuck just didn't know how to install a zipper the right way.
Does anyone else have comments on this.?
I'm with you on this one!
Su and I had to bling up a frock the other week. Posh evening type frock... We put crystals all over the top, and then I had to mend the seam at the bottom of the zip. I just wanted to rip the whole thing out and 'put it in properly'! :D
Feature zips with crystals on have been around a while, and properly put in they can look great up the back of a gown. But you sew them in like a concealed zip (one of the best inventions in clothing EVER!) so that only the crystal line shows when it's done up.
That does sound like a very spiffy garment. But where could I wear one? Not to visit granddies, I have to watch the older one ride her horse in a show; nor to travel some 1800-miles in a couple weeks. Oh maybe at Christmas. LOL. Emily
