Note: Make sure you allow enough time for each layer to dry properly before going in over the top with another coat, otherwise the teeth will become sticky and rough. If you find that the zip still doesn't fasten after your first coat of polish it might be worth trying another coat or two. This will effectively thicken the teeth which can help restore the zip to its former working glory. If you suspect the teeth have worn down from too much use (yep, it happens), a trick that might work is painting the teeth with clear nail polish.
Alternatively, if they all appear to be in the correct place, move onto the next step. If so, use a set of pliers to slowly bend the rogue teeth back into position. Start by closely inspecting the zip itself to determine if any of the teeth are simply out are out of alignment. If your zip keeps falling down, it often means that the teeth have either been dislodged or worn away.

Plus, taking it to an expert means it'll cost you, so finding out if you can fix the zipper yourself will have its benefits. While you can take a dodgy zipper to your local alterations shop for a replacement, if you're on your way out and your dress or bag suddenly break, you want a quick and simple solution. In fact, broken zippers are arguably the most awkward fashion piece to repair because, the more you try and move the slider up and down (in various states of distress), the more broken the zip can become. Reason being, almost every dress, jacket, skirt and pair of trousers in your wardrobe has at least one zip. Knowing how to fix a zipper is perhaps one of the most useful fashion hacks you'll ever learn.
