The dress featured in the video, on the alternate side of the page, was identified with a quality control issue. The zip on the back on the dress had not been fitted properly so therefore did not align at the top when it was fastened. This issue also created a secondary issueas this meant not only did it not align correctly at the top but also a gap was formed at the bottom of the dress.
The first solution that could have stopped this quality control issue from occuring is the zip could have been fitted onto the dress by hand. Although this would have meant more attention could have been paid to the garmet and decreased the chance of this issue occuring by doing it it is alot motr time consuming and adds extra labouring costs to the production of the garment. The second potential solution is to completely get rid of the zip and to alternatively use buttons to fasten up the back of the dress. It is possible for buttons to be fitted by both machiene or hand and are much easier to fit to a garment than a zip is. There is also less to go wrong with buttons than there is with a zip. A zip can not be aligned properly, it can come loose, it can become jammed and also the actual zipper on the zip can break or snap off. When thinking about the potential problems which could be created with buttons there is only the potential for it to fall off, which is a much easier defect to put right again. For example if a button becoms loose and falls off it is very easy to simply sew one back on again and even if the button got to ssource and refit a button than it would to have to source and refit a zip. I believe that this would be a very effective solution to solve this issues which this garmet has. Although I believe that my last solution would be the most effective I do have one more suggestion. A hook and eye could be fitted at the top of the dress to pull the top two parts of the dress and help with the alignment but for the hook and eye to fit together the zip would have had to been fitted correctly in the first intance.
