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.

ROFL! :lol:

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

      Now that I think about it, part of why I enjoy my noisy family so much is because I don't have to have much of an inner life.  I don't really like being left to my own thoughts....all that mess in my brain.  Maybe better to have an active outer life than an inner one?

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you.

      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
