Help! I'm stuck in a jumpsuit

Literally this. The zip has jammed and I can't get out of it. I'm home alone with the kids and totally stuck. It's at the back too and i've nearly dislocated my arms.
Ive tried vaseline to lubricate but to no avail. Any ideas?

Did you get out of the jumpsuit??!

It's a lovely jumpsuit Gumps. I'd wear it to the dinner. It has pleats in the trouser section, so there's a little spare fabric there...perhaps make a small alteration so you can use the loo even if the zip malfunctions again? Grin

Gumps - seriously, you've just ordered another jumpsuit after last night?
Are you a bleeding jumpsuit addict or something? Grin

I have huge boobs and a smaller waist. I really struggle to find things that fit so when I do, dodgy zip or not, I've learned to buy more than one.
I appreciate it sounds a bit mad but surely it's a freak zip rather than a standard? Clutches at straws....

OP, did you see Jane Fonda got stuck in her dress a couple of months ago....so funny!

I am seriously jealous of anyone who has the figure to pull that jumpsuit off! I hear the word jumpsuit and imagine some hideous 1970's thing but your one is lovely!

I wonder if a dress maker could alter it so the zip is at the side?

Take it a tailor and ask them to put an invisible zip in the crotch so then as long as your careful you can pee without taking it off Smile

Might be a little uncomfortable to sit on though especially if you didn't have a decent pant!

I've been sliding the zip up and down all week so I';m wearing it to the dinner. Wish me luck! I've pack a pencil in my handbag.

I have that jumpsuit. Feeling a bit nervous about wearing it now, when I am less pregnant.

Seriously, I got stuck trying on a boden dress today and thought of this thread. Fortunately I did get out of it!! Grin

MrsMozart · 12/05/2018 19:52

Good luck!

Thebluedog · 12/05/2018 19:53

Can you go to a neighbour and ask for help?

GinandGingerBeer · 12/05/2018 20:16

bluedog the op posted on 09may she’s been out of it for days Grin

TroubledLichen · 12/05/2018 22:33

I do wonder if she’s stuck again after last night’s dinner though 😂

Sorry took me a day to get over the hangover. I didn't get stuck but I tailgated the few women that were there to the toilet - just incase!

Yay for not getting stuck! Grin

Love the tailgating - I wonder if the other ladies there will be posting about the odd woman following them Grin Hope you had a lovely evening.
