One-way fabrics are to be cut in same direction unless otherwise specified to be A/B marker. Style specific plaid & stripe placement requirements are to be reviewed and documented on Development Spec Package. NOTE: Placement is to be confirmed prior to fit approval and documented in Production Spec Package.

Career and Relaxed Separates Bottoms - Lined & Unlined 17 February 2004 CONCEALED ZIPPER CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
These standards are to be used in the following product categories where concealed zippers are common:
Dresses Skirts Blouses Pants
1. Ann Taylor has pre-approved 2 primary suppliers of concealed zippers, YKK & Coats-Opti. All concealed zippers should be sourced from either of these brands. 2. It is preferred that Zippers are ordered to length. 3. Zippers cut to length must be secured and clean finished at the end with lining when used in product without a lining. 4. Shell fabric seam should be reinforced with interlining/stay tape prior to setting zipper. 5. Areas of bulk on the seam should be reduced by one of the following methods : Medium-Heavyweight fabrics use open seams. Lightweight fabrics: Open seams or if using closed seams press shell. seam allowance and lining seam allowance in opposite direction 6. Lining should be set min from zipper teeth at inside. 7. Zipper tail should be tacked to shell on one side only 8. Clean finished Lining seam should be closed from below zipper opening at base. 9. Concealed zipper size will be specified by TD.
Suppliers are required to achieve the objective of a concealed zipper that performs its function satisfactorily at all times. If these standards are at any time found to be either insufficient or impede the achievement of this objective the supplier is expected to raise this concern to AT TD or QA.
