Invisible Zippers (sometimes called concealed zippers) are most often
seen in the center back of a dress, in the side or back of pants and
skirts, and in some home dec projects.
As the name implies, the zipper is hidden in a seam, becoming virtually
invisible. This zipper application is often thought of as very
difficult to do, however it’s really one of the easiest.
