Stuck In A Dress...

In town today I bought my first dress...OMG! I LOVE IT!

It's a Green and black striped jacket with a white blouse underneath and a black skirt (shorter than any skirt I have) Thing is, it's all one piece, even though it looks like separates....

It has a zipper in the back that goes from the waist..up to the neck....cool..

Well, a while back I mentioned to my good friend JJ that I did not like back zippers because they're so difficult to do the zipper...

He told me to loop a piece of string though it to pull the zipper up and then just slip the string out..

Thanks, JJ...works like a charm!

Problem is that I forgot how he said to get it back down, so I'm sitting here typing this in the dress...DANG!

My wife left for a while, so I'm stuck.

Help.

Donna Jean, whatever are we to do with you??

Have you tried putting the curved end of a hanger through the zipper handle?

I use to be able to contort my body and arms to get those back zippers up and down. But now my body just doesn't want to turn and twist like it use to. So I too get stuck in those type of dresses. But that is okay, I love dresses. And fortunately my wife doesn't drive or go anywhere without me, so I have and automatic zipper slider whenever I need one...LOL..Huggsss

This happened to me once. But I was like 12. And it wasn't my dress. Oh and my mom came home. Luckily I was upstairs and kinda ripped it a little and then tossed it a few days later. Actually this is nothing like your story. Never mind.

There are worse things, I wouldn't mind being stuck in a dress for a while. Anyway you said JJ told you right,you mean the JJ here? I saw him post somethings so he's around, if not I'm sure your wife will be back soon enough.

Love

Oh dee Jay! Well you put your hand behind your neck and pull the top of the zipper up and stick that string through tat little hole again with a good enough loop not to come out. Then let it drop and reach around to the bottom of te string and pull.

Alternately yelling "HELP" in the right circumstances has been known to work.biggrin.gif

Sounds like a really cute dress!

Love You

A kind and caring FtM can REALLY help to get one out of a wardrobe jam, although he might see some humor in your predicament.

LOL...holy crap hun.

That just made my day, and made me think of hilarious memories.

I helped a friend of mine pick out some skirts once, and he put one on wrong and got stuck in it, had to actually walk OUT of the dressing room to find me and wandered around Burlington Coat Factory for almost 5 minutes with a skirt on wrong yelling "NICK, HALP!"

Oh, yeah, brings back some memories. I got stuck in a dress once, the zipper snagged on the material and the dress was fairly tight. I don't think even a contortionist could have figured out that one. I was alone for several days, so over a long period of time, I slowly worked the zipper a little up (like one notch), then down. Eventually I got it off but after about the first two hours, I was getting just a little nervous. :unsure:

What we women will do to look pretty. I hope the dress looks good on you Dee Jay. I only have one dress that I can fit into that doesn't make me look like too much weight in the mid-section.

Also why is it that a dress is the hardest piece of clothing for a woman to put on and take off. I remember the first time I tried on a dress, I gave up on my first try and had to analyze the dress for awhile and develop a plan on how to put it on.

Love Jenny

Beautiful dress for a beautiful lady!

I don't know if I will ever buy a dress with a zipper in the back just for this reason only. I am glad you got out of the dress Dee Jay. Next time you will know the trick to get in and out.

Oh good grief!

I go to a short day at work - only nine and a half hours and I come back to find my best friend has been held captive in a terrorist dress.

Then she escaped and now right back into it - Holy Stockholm Syndrome.

Sweetheart - once you escape you are supposed to run away not go back in!

But it does look great and so do you!

LOVE

Sally

I will keep the jaws of life handy in case you have any more trouble.

Oh Dee Jay-I'll be happy to ride to your rescue any time! :D

You look fantastic in that dress!!

They sell zipper pulls but it's easy to make a pretty one of your own with a small hook -even a filled down fish hook -and ribbon braided on it or threaded through for the string.

Love you

JJ

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
