Burda Style For people who sew
Step 1
I chose to use an invisible zipper here because I couldn't get a perfect colour match for my fabric and I wanted to downplay the zipper in such a luxe top. To insert an invisible zipper, I first marked 5/8 inches away from the center back edge of my two back pieces (the chalk doesn't have to last long here, so hence my not hand sewing the marking). I then pinned one side of the invisible zipper face down on the right side of the fabric and used an invisible zipper foot to sew as close as humanly possible to the teeth. If you don't have an invisible zipper foot, you can do this with a regular zipper foot but go slowly and try to sew as close as possible to the teeth (it may also help to baste it first!). I then pinned and sewed the other side of the zipper on, as before.
