c. Skirt measurements: Waist: Measure snugly around the waist keeping the tape parallel to the floor. 16. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hip horizontally. (7 to 9 from waist approx.) 17. Waist to Hip: Measure down from waist at centre back to fullest part of the hip (S to U in fig.b).

A centered application is the method generally used. c. Invisible zipper: These zippers are the newest type of zipper. As the name implies, they are structured differently from other zippers and are in a special way so that they disappear into a seam. When properly applied, neither the stitching nor the zipper teeth or coil is visible on the outside of the garment. Invisible zippers are used principally in skirts and dresses but they can go, in general, wherever a conventional zipper might be used, except in a trousers.
