The other thing - remember, my button friend? Apparently the place where she got the buttons is supposed to have the best zippers - here's the link...

It seems that they have separating zippers in various weights and you can custom order them to a specific length - I was so excited I never really paid attention to the cost and I hadn't quite finished the garment before I punched in the length I wanted (based on the length of my first Omega) so I ordered a R1R1 number 4, 21 inches in antique silver and it was only after I hit the' buy now' button that it dawned on me I paid $16 for a freakin' zipper! plus postage! Ar-r-r-g-g-h! The good news is, it IS beautiful! lovely, the perfect weight for WCD, soft and pliable and it does not bulge out like a firmer, heavier one would. The pulls are pretty and small, the teeth are small and single, metal pieces, not a coil which is hard to determine from their website which is not exactly full of explanations. I'm just sayin'...
I have worn this already a ton of times and the price of the zipper, well worth it for the quality of garment that I have! me, totally happy! thanks button-girl!
oh, yeah - I almost forgot - just in case you're really interested, this Omega, dill weight was 338g; black used was 312g, 2nd size made.
