There are many resources around that share how to replace a zipper, some of which are listed in the post. However, check out this Lifehacker post first in case you can coax the zipper to work without fixing it completely:<br />http://lifehacker.com/5975700/how-to-fix-every-common-zipper-problem<br /><br />If you do need to replace the zipper completely, this is a friendly tutorial for zipper installation:<br />http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/10/sewing-tips-installing-a-basic-zipper.html<br /><br />Making clothing larger is probably the trickiest alteration and really depends on the item: material, seaming, construction, etc. If it is possible for your dress, you could add fabric to the dress by attaching the new fabric to the new zipper and then inserting the new piece where the original zipper is. For other ideas, here is a helpful ehow post:<br />http://www.ehow.com/how_6968174_do-dress-size-16-20_.html<br /><br />Best of luck on your alteration adventures!<br /><br />Sarah<br />The Fuzzy SquareSarah Gettelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928137207951486930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223570616784624232.post-3976146195902646072014-01-28T10:34:23.054-06:002014-01-28T10:34:23.054-06:00Do you have any advice for replacing a zipper on a...Do you have any advice for replacing a zipper on a dress--and possibly adding some extra width while at it? There was a dress shop going out of business near my home and I found a gorgeous dress for $30! It fit fine when I tried it on in the dressing room, but when I took it home, I couldn't get the zipper to work. The zipper is stuck, and I had bought the dress knowing that it was a little tight (I figured it could assist me in my fitness goal). If I try to replace the zipper, I know it will go down a size or more (and consequently only fit my twelve-year-old on-edge-of-puberty-flat-chested younger sister). So any tips on 1. How to replace a zipper and 2. How to add width to the dress while replacing a zipper would be great. Because as much as I love my sister, it's my dress. (Mine.)Loretta R. P.
