The curse of single girl dressing

The curse of single girl dressing is something I am sure many women out there have been faced with at some point in their life.

You may not necessarily BE a single girl, in fact you might be loved up but the curse can crop up at any time. The problem is, when you are getting dressed or undressed for that matter of fact and you come across an article of clothing which requires assistant in doing up and BAM it hits you, the curse of single girl dressing.
It happened to me this morning, I was awake early for a conference at university and I picked out my gorgeous leopard print dress which I bought at Tesco a few years ago. I unzipped the seam at the back of the dress which runs three quarters of the way down the dress, and stepped into it. I then had to begin the awkward process of trying to zip it up. My flat mates were fast asleep as it was half past 8 in the morning so I was alone in my struggle. Purely attempting to get dressed resulted in a long and laborious process of twisting my body and pulling and zipping from all angles.
I did manage to dress myself in the end! But the fact that it is so hard makes me almost not want to wear the dress at all.

If I did live with a man then most likely he would of been there to do up the dress and off I would of gone without so much as a second glance to check my hair hadn't been caught in the zip.

So this is just a message to all designers out there, please be aware of this fault and make dressing fair and fun for all. Regardless of relationship status.
