haev you ever got STUCK in an item fo clothign int he changing room

[Ponce]

cos i amlost did today

I wish I could use norks as an excuse - I think it's my desire to try on size 8s when I am more of a 12

I tried on an Armani top in House of Fraser once. I'm a size 10/12 and this top was a medium but it had the skinniest arms I've ever seen on a item of clothing. I only just managed to get it on, and almost broke into a sweat trying to get it off.

Yes and every time it has been those tops with the side zip, last time it was Monsoon, they really are not very generous in the nork area. I've had to turn myself into a contortionist to get out, couldn't face the shame of having to get the assistant.

yes, unfortunately, and it was also a side zip on a pink and white checked sixties dress in a vintage clothes shop staffed by one man.

There wasn't a changing room as such, more a grubby carpeted room upstairs, bare light bulb etc. I was wildly optimistic in trying it on and of course it stuck over my head, resulting in me swaying around the room like a large flump.

It ripped. I bought it, and gave it to a thin friend who sewed it up. She looked lovely in it.

I foolishly tried on some size 12 Kate Moss jeans in topshop the other week. Size 12 my a*se - they refused to go past my knees and even then the seams were twisted. I had horrible visions of having to buy the damn things so I could cut them off myself at home .

Serves me right for laughing at my sister for getting wedged in a 'one size' (ie tiny) dress in C & A years ago. I was about 15 at the time and skinny as a rake.

I've got a sundress which I bought in Hennes (in Milan though!) which when I tried it on, it looked fabby - once I'd nearly broken my arms trying to do the zip up which is at the back. I hadn't liked to take dp in there with me. Think it was near my period as well as my boobs were bigger than normal so it was a job trying to trap them into the dress to do the zip up . Didn't help that there were dozens of skinny Italians in there, all aged about 19. I'm sure they were sniggering at me being so long in the cubicle. My dp wondered where I'd got to as well!

Yes!!Pmsl when I saw this thread. I got ell and truly stuck in a size 10 Fenn Wright Manson dress on saturday. It had an inbuilt corset thingy with an inside out inside side zip. I finally figured out how to get it on, hated the dress as it was far too tight over my dd's, and had no hope of getting it off ever. My mumhad come with me, and I made her help, but it was wedged on so tightly tht it took 20 mins for her to get it off me! I had to kneel on the flooor with my arms over my head, while she dragged and wrenched it, and i pulled in the opposte dirction. it was a small changing room, and we laughed until we cried, then got hysterical, mum telling the whole wolrld she was literally going to wet herself. When it finlly came off y hand were shaking, skin red raw, and tyhe next day the back of my arms felt bruised.

never ever again will i try on anything tricky to get into, and from now on will always carry a small pair of scissors

I hurt my back today trying on big supportive knickers!!!!!

Oh god yes. In M&S. Tried on one of them body things that hold everything in. Got it all twisted around me. DH was sat outside waiting and I was so long in there that he got the assistant to come in a ask if I was ok. I told her to go fetch blood pressure medication.

I was in a mega sweat and the more I sweated, the more the bloody thing clung to me. I gave myself a stress headache trying to get into it... never mind out of it again.

My blood pressure was through the roof.

I was shopping with my sister, and she was trying on several skirts, none of which she liked. Went to put her own jeans back on and broke the zip. She must have tried on every skirt and pants in the shop before she found some she liked and could purchase so she could leave the changing room with some dignity.

yes i got stuck in some knee length boots a few years ago and had to get help getting them off - the manager went and got a very scary pair of pliers and forced the zip - dd & dp came looking for me and to my shame found me whilst i was being freed !

and it was in shoe express

I remember you got stuck to your gym locker not so long ago...hanging by the key..I think cod

oh god yes - the old 'stuck in clothing in the changing room' sweats.

Many a time have I been trying on an item of clothing in the changing room (which are usually baking hot), only to become stuck. AND usually stuck in an undignified way such as one arm stuck in air waving aimlessly whilst other arm tries to locate it. This is bad enough, but is closely followed by the 'sweats'. While I flounder more and more, I get hotter, redder, sweatier - so much so I think I actually swell - therefore making release from the garment impossible.

It's only the mortification of having someone see me like this which shocks me back to my senses (and size), and I manage to escape from the garment. I then whistle a litte tune (or something similar), compose myself and then head out to the assistant with a simple 'no thanks, not my style'.

However, it never seems to put me off - as I'll probably be back in the same dressing room the following week , doing it ALL over again!
