With fabric you’d be better to find a complimentary colour in a matching fabric than a matching colour in a different fabric. Fabric stores are always the better option than a craft store but don’t know what’s available in your area. So sorry you had a crappy experience!

I had the same problem with a bridesmaid dress and my seamstress was able to leave most of the zipper and just move the hook and eye down and then added a corset back above were she left the zipper! It looked great and still had majority of the zipper! I’ll insert a picture!

Look up a local quilt shop near you! The employees there are usually super helpful and know a thing or two about fabric!

🚨🚨🚨🚨THIS IS HELPFUL!!!! Have your seamstress cut the panel on the bias if there’s enough of the new fabric, it will give it a little stretch

100% add a corset back to it. It’s so much easier then matching the fabric

Good fabric stores. Since your in Florida Hispanics and Latinos usually have fabric stores that will have better variety!

Michaels sucks for fabric. Unfortunately Joann’s is gone. Maybe see if there are any locally owned fabric stores nearby.

As an ex Michael's employee who also sews, take that fabric back! Look up if there's a fabric remnant store anywhere near you, your seamstress might know. Don't go to a chain craft place or a quilting store. Will those places have fabric? Yes. Will that fabric be garment quality? NO.
