I am in LOVE with that frock. I know it is frustrating that it was defective, but it is just too stinkin' cute to return! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-fix-a-broken-zipper#post-309996 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:15:54 +0000 Maya 309996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grr, I just don't feel like I should have to pay for it since it was defective, but it's either that or I return it.

Worth a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-fix-a-broken-zipper#post-309989 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 01:59:13 +0000 Maya 309989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the CUTEST EVER DRESS from Topshop but the zipper is broken I can't exchange it for a new one because it sold out so quickly.</p> <p>The zip was initially getting caught in one spot, but with some yanking I could manage to get it up. But I did that one too many times, and now it doesn't close anymore. I can move the zipper pull up, but the teeth don't come together, if that makes sense. Is this fixable or do I need to have it repaired?</p> <p>Dress: <a href="http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&#038;viewAllFlag=&#038;catalogId=33060&#038;storeId=13052&#038;productId=2282049&#038;langId=-1&#038;categoryId=&#038;searchTerm=boat&#038;pageSize=20" rel="nofollow">http://us.topshop.com/webapp/w.....ageSize=20</a> </p>
