I am looking a dress-weight separating zipper for a prom outfit I'm making. I can't seem to find any.:bang: I believe they do exist because I have seen different patterns call for them. Does anyone know where I can find one? I can't really go any further until I know what kind of zipper I'm going to have to use.:whacky:

I found them at Hancock's. They were in the same "rack" as the invisible zippers near the bottom. They were easy to overlook and I found them quite by accident. I needed one for my daughter's prom dress. They are called formal fashions separating zippers and are Beulon brand made byYKK.

Thank-you. I'll give the brand name to our store here and see if she can get them in. Does Hancock's have a website? I don't believe I've ever seen one here in Alberta (I could wrong).
