Hi Dorothy
They have things in Kleeneze catalogues. They are really for zips on bags but they can be used for clothes. They are like an extra loop that attaches to the zip. You would still need someone to take it off once you have pulled it up. Maybe that defeats the object but as I don't know how difficult it is for you, it is hard to tell. Have a look at them anyway and see what you think.

would like to add i have now embarrassed my meds delivery driver(a woman)i got to thinking that if i got a dress zipped at the front of me then swished it round i could maybe be succesful,DON'T do it girls i was not a pretty sight, boobs a flight, midrift out and it was just pants,it was luck my delivery came as i was truly stuck in mid flow,so after she stopped laughing she was kind to help me out,i am glad it was her and not the bloke  ,i will now be in asda looking for a zip thingy thanks to rich letting us know of the help aisle.

Blimey. Boobs and pants together.!!! Do hope the delivery lady got back safely!
Bet she volunteers next time, if only to see if its the same dress that you are still wearing.
Thanks for sharing Anne

wasnt my best idea,BUT, i have now mastered the dress swivel,i with the watchfull eye of my daughter spent 2 days on perfecting it,why you all ask,ok i am independant and like it,any way i pulled my NYLON waist slip upto my armpits and did the dressess all the way up i even got the boobs in,swished them round (well got them round)the right way and gently got my arms in,took me nearly 20mins and yes i done it my daughter was in fits and said houdini couldnt have done better,then pulled the slip to where it should sit and job done,i did have the fan on full pelt at the same time,and got dress back off by reverse procedure after waiting 10mins,then had a rest and cup of coffee but i done it,with the other dress i done the same but it is strapless so bit easier god im good,i have lost 2stone in weight so i am chuffed to bits,wont have them on very often but my pals will be pleased when i can safley take off a coat in their company,oh so happy  ,thanks guys where theres a will theres a way,still look for zip thing but the zips are those teardrop style and hard anyway,van driver now safe to drop off meds,well till something else has to be done.dorothy
