There are times when simply positive thinking and good intentions will not take you too far. Lets say, for example, the zipper of your skirt gets stuck to the lining or your undies and you’re trying to resolve the matter by yanking that poor slider up and down, left and right…
Oh, remember the movie “There’s Something About Mary”? The scene where Ben Stiller frantically tries to zip up his pants and …”ouch!”… happened!
Your friends would say be reasonable,
Your friends would say just let go,
But there’s something about that zipper that they don’t know.
If only those zippers could talk…
Anyway, you yanked that slider, broke the zipper…and the agony of the doomed was in your voice “MY LIFE IS #@*&^%$!!!!”
Or so it seems.
It seems that every other fashion show includes a wardrobe malfunctioning episode, done perhaps to get publicity. However, the first step in avoiding that kind of headache is to be wise enough to choose the right fitting garment. Neither too tight nor too loose. Determine whether you are comfortable sitting, standing and bending in your clothes, or not.
The thing is, the zipper of your garment could stop cooperating regardless the proper fit.
I see a few options here how to deal with this frustrating situation.
Choose something else to wear, perhaps something that has elasticized waist band so you do not have to deal with the zippers EVER again!
The use of safety-pins or staple gun would be an option also to shield the unsightly opening. Wouldn’t make a fashion statement, though, but that’s my humble opinion.
Another thing you could do would be to sew it closed. That’s in case you have no fears or phobias of needles or any other sharp objects.
And lastly there is an option, and probably the last resort, which is to ask someone else, with skills and knowledge of fixing clothes, to do it for you.
That is all I have to say about the subject, for now.
PS… couldn’t resist: perhaps a Daily Mantra would help you through tough times: In Tailoring We Trust, In Tailoring We Trust, In Tailoring We Trust….
