I thread fishing wire through and use it as a pull. It helps. :)

2 Ideas, either make a wire hook, or attack some kind of cute tassle.

Or put the dress on sideways and shimmy it around. :P

I thought that I would go and look up some past topics that I might have missed and then revive them a bit. (Actually seeing the Petticoat thread prompted me to do this.) Anyway, this little issue has also been something that I have had to confront (given my rather unique personal situation.) With zippers that have a hole in them, I just run a long pice of string through the hole. I use my hand to get up the zip as far as possible, then I use the string for the final bit. When the zip has no hole, that is a real problem. I have been know to turn my dress around 180 degrees and then pull the zipper up, and then try to turn it back to the correct position. But this can be quite difficult.

When I have done photo shoots or when shopping with friends, it is always nice to get help from someone trusted. I have told people that what I really need is my own personal dresser. That would do the trick!

I'm quite stretchy/bendable, so I can usually zip the zipper up so far, and then reach down and do it the rest of the way; sometimes it helps to sort of push the centre of the dress upwards to make reaching the zip easier :)  Also, anyone from PUG who's reading this: I much prefer back-zipped dresses/tops, than those who have a zip at the side ending at the armpit, please don't change your dresses :)
