Ruched Velvet Sheath Dress

Well I got home and getting ready for my event. Dress is the last thing to go on. I got the zipper to my shoulders and it stuck and I don’t mean slightly stuck, I mean won’t budge. And I am now trapped in the dress. After finally getting the dress off, messing up my makeup and hair, I try to dislodge the zipper but the lining fabric was completely engulfed in the zipper. Nope, nope and nope! Needless to say - dress is not worn and I was horribly late for my event. :-(

Maybe I’m not the right shape but the ruching does not lay well and sort of puffs out in a very specific place. Maybe if I was even curvier or the dress was tighter it wouldn’t but it looked so odd.
