The zipper on my prom dress puckers?

Question

I need help!!!! I just got my dress back from the tailor's and along the zipper, the dress puckers and buckles! I have no clue how to fix it, does anyone have any suggestions??!

Answer 1

Take it back to the tailor and ask him/her to reinsert the zipper correctly.  It should not pucker it the zipper is professionally sewn to the garment.  Do this ASAP, if they refuse then find another seamstress or dressmaker to install it properly for you.

Answer 2

if the zip isn't running smoothly you can either rub a white candle up and down the teeth or the lead of the pencil this will help it to glide, however if you mean the zip has gone all lumpy you can turn inside out, place a clean double thickness cloth over it and run a hot iron down the zip, make sure you do this on the inside to stop scorching, if the zip has only gone like this since its been to the taylors take it back so they can correct it free of charge of course, good luck
