Honey, will you zip me up?

I need some help! There are quite a few PUG dresses that I just can't seem to get myself into. The back zipper can be very tricky and don't even get me started on the BPC Alika...those hooks at the top are impossible! 

On the back zippers I can get them about half way up my back and then I reach a point where I can't reach the zipper from the top or the bottom. If my husband is home I end up asking him to zip me up, but on weekday mornings I end up coming to work half dressed and cornering a coworker! :) 

Is a zipper pull the answer? I've thought about trying to attach a lanyard or something to grab on to, but some of the zippers are so small. And the Alika - no ideas there. 

How do you ladies manage? :)

A few of mine I need help with too, but I do the same thing; ask the hubby.

And if he's not around I wear a different dress that I can do up myself.

I have a bootlace that I use to pull up the difficult zippers, but PUG is supposed to be coming out with really cute zipper pulls soon, and I plan on buying one. Not much different from my bootlace, I suspect, but I'll at least feel a little classier when getting dressed. ;P

Pretty much the only time I regret living alone is when I have nobody to help me zip up vintage inspired dresses :)

yeah I really really depend on my fiance for most zipping jobs, otherwise I sorta flail around like a t-rex until in a huff I can get it done. but...yeah I am coveting those zipper pulls.

I use a wire hanger to zip up, LOL it's small enough to go through the tiny zipper pull and it's easy to wiggle off the zipper once it's up :0 D

That's genius!  I have a ton of those that keep showing up in my closets no matter how many times I get rid of them.
