Zippers are a source of confusion and frustration for a lot of people. I myself had absolutely no idea how to go about installing one for a looong time (as I suspect owners of my really old suits could attest, eheh). So I made this tutorial to help show how I do it, and maybe make it seem a little less intimidating for someone who's never sewn a zipper before.
I hope the guide is fairly self-explanatory and easy to follow~
If you have any questions, let me know. Happy sewing!

Thank you for showing how to do it RIGHT :D
I've seen professionally-made fursuits that look great, but the zipper is installed inside-out on the inside of the fur, with the pull facing in. Drives me insane!
Also, I prefer back zippers it as it's much easier to slide a bodysuit forward than backward over my shoulders. People are like "I can't do a back zipper, then I need help" and I'm like "guys, it's called a string." I just add a string to my zipper pull and voila! Stuff the string inside the body when in use.
