  1. Pre-shrink the zipper tape. Unzip the zipper and place it face-down on the right side of the back pants piece, as shown in the photo. Align the top stop of the zipper with the marked control point. Pin one side of the zipper tape to the side seam, making sure the edge of the tape extends 0.3 cm beyond the fabric edge, since the seam allowance is 0.7 cm and the width of the zipper tape is 1 cm.
