The zipper on my dress won't stay closed.?
I have this dress that gets difficult to zip up near the bust area. Recently, every time I nudge it up to my neck, the zipper below it snaps open, and I have to work the zipper down and start all over again with the same results. It's only recently doing this. I really need this dress. Is there any way I can fix it? Thanks!

Something is broken. You can get the zipper replaced, which is a fairly cheap alteration. A temporary hack is to thread a small safety pin through the zipper tab, then around the shank of the button at the top of your pants. This will hold the zipper closed. If you try this, don't put off going to the bathroom until the last minute…it might be tricky to unfasten!
