Zip on dress split - quick easy ideas to fix

So pretty much what the title says!

I had a trip this morning where I left at 3:30am and have stopped halfway. Go back to my car and someone's parked ridiculously close but also wonky (there's plenty of other spaces available so why right next to my car I don't know) but as I've carefully wangled myself into my drivers side I caught some of the flowing fabric and basically pulled the dress tight so then my dress zip split!!! It's attached at the bottom and at the top with middle being separated.

how can I fix this asap? I am still in the services - no sowing kit - I have tried to pull the zip down but it's not budging. I have managed to get it off (luckily had a gym bag in the car to change into something) BUT I have a meeting shortly and ideally need this dress back on even if the zip holds until I'm back in the car again. Or is it absolutely done for?

Urrrrrgh!!

Stapler?
Lots of safety pins?
24 hr supermarket for another dress

Disclaimer ...I once stapled my skirt together to get through a meeting but v uncomfortable and it ripped my tights

Heavy duty tape maybe?
