invisible zipper
Absolutely interface the s.a. As for the bottom of the zipper poking out...remove the stitching in that are and using a regular zipper foot turn right sides together restitch the seam closed. The regular zipper foot allows you yo sew past the zipper pull.

I had a similar thing happen on a bias dress. I let the dress hang for a few days - the weight of it will stretch it out a little. Then with the dress still hanging on the dress form, I pinned the zipper in place. Then I hand basted it and then sewed it by machine - and yes it was a an invisible zipper. It worked perfectly. By the way, bias dresses and skirts should be folded for storage and not hung - just because they will keep stretching.
