I live alone, and one of my fears is that a zipper will get stuck on a dress I'm wearing. There's no one I could call to come over and help, so my only choice would be to cut myself out of the dress. So bye-bye to that dress. Well, at least it's not like it was when I was a teenager and trying on my mother's dresses. Not only couldn't I cut myself out, I would have to worry about getting out of the dress before my mother came home.

So, for the GGs, ever been trapped in a dress? I remember on "Sex & the City" when Samantha couldn't get out of her dress, and she called her boyfriend and said, "Why don't you come over and do me?" By which she meant, why don't you come over and undo me?

So, for the GGs, ever been trapped in a dress?

No.

Aileen,

Because I broke my elbows when I was 14, I have a very limited range of motion in them. There are no dresses that I can zip and even using a coat hanger is almost impossible. So I just pull them over my head like I was putting on a t-shirt. And I take them off the same way, even the tighter fitting ones.

No need to cut anything off, I am almost certain you could get it off without unzipping it. Try it, perhaps it will relieve your anxiety about getting stuck in one. Good luck.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Trapped in a dress? Nope, not technically. Trapped enough that it would be helpful for my guy to come undo me? Often!

I don't mean to doubt your word, Elizabeth, but do you really think I could get out of this dress that easily it if the zipper stuck?

You could get out of one if you really wanted to Aileen.

In my youth I use to break off the zipper pull or put a safety pin through the zipper and squeeze the fastener closed. It was an adrenaline rush, wondering if I could get the dress off without getting caught. I always managed to get it off.

When I was twelve, I was getting dressed for school one morning when I got the notion of tying on one of my mother's chiffon scarves. I knew next to nothing about proper knots, and somehow or other, I got the thing knotted around my neck tightly. Mom called up the stairs after me for several minutes, then finally came up to see what was the matter. She was PISSED. After toying with the knot for maybe a minute, she pulled out a set of surgical scissors and cut the thing off me. After that, I was very careful about what I dressed in and when.

Looking back over the years, I know it was wrong to wear my mother's things, but what else did I have?

Hi Aileen--
The only one I own is a red cotton dress, and I made sure I could get into it with the zipper all the way up when I bought it. It was a real struggle, just me and the dress, wrestling at Ross. I almost gave it up as hopeless, and then I tried it once more. It worked, and that has been my favorite dress.

You look great in that dress in the picture!

Oh, thank you so much! I love compliments, and I'll take them wherever I can get them. I'm was worried that there would be some objection to putting a photo here, when we already have a photo gallery.

But anyone can look good from the back. Check out my photo album before you pass judgement.
