The Milward Nylon Dress & Skirt Closed End Zip (20cm) is an essential tool for home sewists and tailors looking for a reliable, seamless fastener for skirts, dresses, and trousers. This premium No. 2 coil nylon zip offers a low-profile finish that blends discreetly into garment seams, providing both durability and ease of use. While it is perfect for standard dressmaking applications, users should note that the 20cm fixed length requires careful measurement before installation, as it cannot be shortened like open-ended continuous zips.

This is a closed-end zip, so it is not designed to be shortened. You should select the 20cm length specifically for projects that accommodate that dimension.
This is a No. 2 coil zip, which is designed for dress and skirt fabrics. For heavy-duty denim, a thicker-gauge zipper is recommended.
A standard zipper foot or an invisible zipper foot (depending on your installation method) is recommended for best results.
Milward products are manufactured to high standards, but it is always recommended to wash in cool water and air dry to maintain the color integrity of both the tape and the coil.
Yes, the nylon coil construction is highly flexible, making it ideal for garments that need to move with the body.
Ensure no loose threads are caught in the coil. You can lightly run a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to lubricate them.
Adjust the needle position on your machine or ensure you are using a dedicated zipper foot that allows you to stitch right next to the coil.
Use a stabilizer or interfacing on the fabric edges where the zip will be attached to provide more structure and prevent stretching.
To install this zipper, ensure your sewing machine is equipped with a standard zipper foot to get close to the coil without hitting the teeth. Use a matching thread color to blend the stitching lines. For the best result, press your fabric seam allowance open before pinning the zip in place. When caring for garments featuring this zip, always ensure the zipper is fully closed before laundering to prevent snagging on other clothing items or damaging the coil. Avoid high-heat ironing directly over the nylon coil, as extreme temperatures can warp the plastic elements.
