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 am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷
