Pardon me, but your zipper is showing… Zippers used to be kept hidden, tucked behind seam allowance or inserted as invisible zippers. But exposed zippers are all the rage now, with the zippers left exposed where they become interesting design details. Coats & Clark shows how to insert an exposed zipper in a tutorial on their blog, Sewing Secrets. Their tutorial includes instructions for attaching the zipper with the full zipper tape showing, or just a portion of the zipper tape showing.

Thanks for posting this. I just chose a top to make with an exposed zipper.
