Ways to reinforce my dress's zipper?

Philly999

My seamstress finally got my dress to fit like a glove. It's snug in all the right places, hits my curves and I have zero worries about it falling down. It looks great.

But it's not easy to zip up, and after leaving the shop today I started to get paranoid that the zipper might not hold up, especially through turns during the first dance, silly photos or any things else.

I really don't want her to let it out because then I think I'd lose the shape. I'm wondering if there are any ways to reinforce a zipper that I might be able to talk to her about? Little hooks or something?

Please share any ideas if you have them!

Then you can find the tailor to ask, to tailor to change your dress, so is the best solution.

  Unless it's a cheap dress with a cheap zipper, you should be fine. It fits like a wedding dress is supposed to fit, and while zippers are not infallible, it's not something you should waste your energy worrying about. Be sure to have safety pins and a needle and thread in your emergency kit.
    I'm sure you can have a few hooks and eyes added if you are just that nervous, but don't go overboard or you'll have a terrible time getting into the dress-- if it fits that snugly, they'll be difficult to hook.
