The Milward Nylon Dress & Skirt Closed End Zip is designed for home sewists and tailors who need a reliable, professional-grade fastening for dresses, skirts, and trousers. Offering a smooth, durable action with a classic no. 2 coil design, this zip is a staple for both new garment construction and repair projects. While it provides excellent flexibility, users should note that the 20cm length is specific to standard garment openings and may not be suitable for longer jacket or full-length skirt closures.

Yes, you can shorten it by sewing a new bar tack across the coil at your desired length and trimming the excess tape.
No, this is a standard coil zipper. For an invisible finish, a dedicated invisible zipper foot and specific invisible zip product would be required.
It is best suited for medium-weight fabrics like cotton, linen, and blends. It may be too light for heavy denims.
Yes, the nylon material is designed to be colorfast and durable through regular machine washing.
The zip length is 20cm, which refers to the length of the actual zipper teeth/coil.
Ensure no stray threads are caught in the coil and apply a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil to the teeth.
Adjust the needle position on your sewing machine further to the left or right, or ensure the zipper foot is centered correctly over the coil.
To install the zip, ensure you have a zipper foot attached to your sewing machine. Position the garment fabric with right sides together and baste the seam closed before inserting the zip. When stitching, guide the needle close to the coil without hitting it to prevent needle breakage. For care, this zipper is machine washable. It is recommended to keep the zipper fully closed during both washing and drying cycles to maintain the alignment of the teeth and prevent snagging on other delicate clothing items in the load.
