Quesion: stiff zipper at back body panel

Dear all,

 

I hope you are all doing well.

 

Currently I am working on this casual short (with elastic band at waist and zipper sewn to right back panel.) 

While creating back pocket with single welt flap, zipper and pocketing (facing is required at opening), eventhough the particle distance (mm) is set between 1.0 to 3.0, which is quite small, on all patterns, the pocketing opening appearance is still very stiff (stick out) and won't go with hip curve softly. (please see reference images below)

 

Listing all relevant info below for your reference:

*particle distance (mm) of patterns: 1.0-3.0
*particle distance (mm) of zipper(trim): 1.0

*fabirc: Nylon featherweight 33.8384 g/m2

*pocket opening size: (H) 0.5" x (W) 6"

*waist (extended) size: 19.625"

*waist (relaxed) size: 15.75"

 

By keeping all required info listed above, I've tried (1)adding/removing internal lines at single welt, (2)removing single welt but keep the rest construction, (3) removing zipper but keep the rest construction, (4) removing pocketing but keep the rest construction, (5) using fabirc/pattern to replace actual zipper trim, (6) set 0.1" lines around pocket opening and have the welt sewn to them but keep the rest construction...etc.

None of the methods above could make the back pocket opening sit smoothly with human body/garment.

 

I've googled but didnt see others work on this kind of construction even it's not complicated.

Does anyone have relevant experience or would like to try/take a challange?

Looking forward to seeing different solutions on this item! : )

    Hi Catherine

    This issue can be produced for different reasons. So let's try a few things and see if improve the display of the patterns. 

    • First, try applying quadrangulate to the flap, this should ease the way it's sewn to the other patterns as it's a small peace. 

     

    • Try applying the Press tool to the inner pocket and to the layer above, this way it will relax the collisions between both.

     

    • Check the direction of the normals of the zipper as sometimes this can be inverted when created. 


    • For correct layering, freeze the pants patterns except for the flap. Set the flap to layer 1 and the rest to layer 0. Locate it near its position and simulate it. Once is properly displayed, set all layers to 0 and unfreeze the rest of the patterns. At the end of the design, all the layers should be 0, meaning the collisions between layers are correctly established.  


    Many users upload their creations where you can see how they create their pockets with flaps. I live you a link to one particular dress that has many zippers and some with flaps and pockets in it. Hope you find it useful
