A zipper inserted into the side seam of a dress or top can be the perfect solution to getting the darn thing over your head!  You may be thinking that you can't sew a zipper to save your life...I know what that feels like, because I used to be afraid of zippers too... (especially invisible ones!)  If you're tempted to give it a try, check out this detailed step-by-step tutorial from J Stern Designs that reveal all the tricks to getting truely invisible results!  Bonus, if you keep reading there's also a tutorial on how to make and insert piping into a waist seam!
