The narrating suuuucks, I know. My computer hates me & decided to only record about half the time, so I kept redoing it & by the time these made the final cut I kind of didn't care what I sounded like. Sorry. If you can't understand me, lemme know & I'll add a note.

Pattern recommendations! I made my own pattern, but here are a few that will probably work:

In all of these, you'd need to either put the zipper in the side, or move it to below the heart. Just make sure your pattern calls for facings instead of a lining; that's the most important part.

& this needn't be just for a dress! You can add it to a shirt or jacket... I think it'd make for a pretty sweet detail on a blazer.

Leave questions & comments & love!

  • Wow! Thank you so much for such a clear tutorial. I'm gonna have to watch it loads before I do it though, cos my brain doesn't seem to compute right side/wrong side stuff, lol!!

  • i must do it to

  • It'd be really cute in you did this and then added a layer of translucent lace to the heart!

  • Very well instructed, thanks!

  • Thank you so much for the how to. Can you explain how you would deal with seam allowance if placing the zip under the heart? If you would take a pattern piece for the back and cut the heart out you will need an allowance for the zipper. I think I'm confused. hahah

  • absolutely LOVE!!!!

    thank you very much!

  • what pattern did you use for the dress?

  • That's awesome!!!! I am soo trying this with my next dress!

  • This is great! I have been wondering how to do this for a while, thanks for posting =)
