How to single women dress on their own?!

[Happilyobtuse]

I bought a dress to wear for an event. It is a black tie event and the dress is a gown with the zip at the back. I have just realised I have no way of getting dressed for this event and leaving the hotel without help from another person! The event is in a different city from where I live. Made me think, how do single women get dressed when designers keep putting zips at the back! I have a few dresses with zips at the side but the one I want to wear for this event has a zip at the back. I am totally stumped. If I was at home my husband or kids would help. Wise mumsnetters give me a suggestion! Please don’t say change the dress! I love this one!

Sheila Hancock, in her autobiography "The Two of Us" recounts how she invented a bit of theatrical business involving hooking a loop on a dress zip onto a door handle and then doing a plie to pull up the zip.

Apparently, it brought the house down every night. And greatly impressed John Thaw.

Fundamentally not true, unless you came out of the womb being able to fasten your own onesie…

Can I just refer people to the title of this thread? The OP isn’t asking how those who are inflexible/arthritic/disabled/injured/shite-at-yoga dress themselves.

She simply asked how those who are single manage it.

🤣🤣🤣

And many of us are replying to other posters (as indicated by quoting them ), are you unfamiliar with how Internet conversations work?

People are being so bloody smug about something so trivial, with seemingly no understanding of that it's not a moral failing not to be able to do it, for a multitude of reasons.

This is why I love Jane Fonda
