no problemo getting into contortionist dresses here, as a sometime ren faire attendee. corsets, bum rolls, etc. another person can come in handy, though!Great color on you. any alteration that makes the zipper easier would require adding fabric, which is really tricky to do well. one option is to replace the zipper with snaps, like they had in the olden days. still somewhat of a pain, but less likely to pinch and will preserve the look of the dress. Good Luck!! steph |
