How to remove Zipper bulge (Improved lapped Zipper) 

You're welcome. I'm so glad it was helpful.

Yes. For a bodice with half lenght you just cut out the 1inch and that's it. There's no need to tape them back together.

Can you please help me understand your request? I don't understand what you mean.

Ruth if you are new to pattern drafting it might seems difficult but, it's not difficult.I will suggest you check her channel for full scale bodice block pattern and follow it,i promise you you won't regret it.I wish,i can explain better for you.
