A sewing question...

hangers work - hook it in the zipper and then pull it up.

Go for the "hidden" dress zipper in this case.

I do this all the time. I would just go this route, if you can.

(Even while married, because Ken breaks zippers - seriously. You should have seen our wedding night because he jammed the zipper on my dress and I got stuck and had to be rescued by a friend who just happened to still be on site. And, that wasn't the only time it's happened.

I have no attention span. I posted this question and then got distracted by other projects.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the coat hanger method first before I disembowel the dress. At first I didn't think there was anything to latch on to. I also talked to a friend who I usually see at the dance and she offered to zip me up if I got there half-zipped (as opposed to half-whatever). But I can just see myself forgetting to ask for help before I leave and having to cut myself out of the dress (or less dramatically, sleeping in it).

Nekked? Sorry, Kevy, I want to wear the dress.
