My boyfriend is buying me my very first bjd doll it's gonna b a Bobobie weylin. I know how to make jeans for him and am working on sewing a few pairs in preparation for my doll's arrival only problem is I don't have a zipper meant for doll size pants! I find that if I sew a pair of dolly jeans they don't look or fit right without a zipper so anyone know what craft stores in Maine USA might carry them? I'm trying to find them locally thanks in advance!

You might have to look on line for Barbie zippers.

I buy doll sized buttons here:

They also offer doll zippers but I've never bought one so I'm not really sure of their size accuracy ratio to dolls. ^^

I actually don't have a single pair of pants with a fly that actually have a zipper in there. The fly on even an SD is still only an inch or so, and I think it would be difficult to both sew in and also zip up such a small zipper. Most of my pants have just the button at the top, and it usually doesn't bother me. If the pants are particularly tight and there's gapping in the fly area I use velcro rather than a zipper since it's less unwieldy.
