I got stuck in a dress once without anyone else in the dressing room &amp; felt very panicky. Glad your sister saved you. (And I frequently wonder whose tiny arms sleeves are intended for! I like short sleeves with button cuffs so I can give myself some breathing room.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264608 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:51:34 +0000 Anonymous 1264608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch!

Yes, please don't try on UnderArmour sports bras... I thought I'd have to dislocate my shoulders to get it off... Major panic! Lyn*, so glad your sister was nearby to lend a hand!

Yikes. </p> <p>And the sports bra thing is why I now only buy ones with hooks in back. Somehow they are a lot harder to take off when you're sweaty. (or when they run really small and you're trying them on in a tiny fitting room...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264564 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:11:10 +0000 MsLuna 1264564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a stranger to clothing injury. It's annoying one time I broke into rashes - and I couldn't figure out why I was so itchy. I went to the doctor and he told me two things:</p> <p>1. I'm over layering (this was in the winter months and I had a sweater dress obsession)<br /> 2. My sweater dresses are scratchy.</p> <p>It took a couple days to heal. </p> <p>So boo! Are you able to return the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264560 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:06:58 +0000 Alassë 1264560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness gracious! So glad you got it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264554 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:00:45 +0000 Suz 1264554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had the awful sports bra experience, too. It's amazing how fast one can panic in that situation. I hope your arm doesn't bruise too much! It happened to me once that I almost couldn't get out of a dress's sleeves, too. Really weird, because my arms are pretty slender.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264548 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:59:08 +0000 lyn* 1264548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My arm is still numb. I think I yanked too hard on my brachial plexus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264536 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:51:19 +0000 catgirl 1264536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is more than stuck, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264527 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:41:09 +0000 Nebraskim 1264527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thinking on the part of your sister! I got stuck in a sports bra once when I was suffering from what turned out to be a partially frozen shoulder and my spouse had to pull it off for me. Painful and humiliating. It was the final straw that convinced me to go have it looked at. At least you know your months of arm-building exercises have paid off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264485 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:10:06 +0000 pil 1264485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Numb? That is wild! I've had a bit of panic with trouble getting pieces over my head in a dressing room but have never gone numb. I hope the chinchilla helped you feel better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264481 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:07:26 +0000 Aida 1264481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack, good thing your sis was there to help! My shoulders have gotten me stuck in more tops than I'd care to recount </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264480 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:06:57 +0000 shedev 1264480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The chinchilla is adorable.

Yeah, I think that dress probably wasn't for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cute chinchilla!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-stuck-in-a-dress#post-1264408 Thu, 29 May 2014 23:47:14 +0000 lyn* 1264408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember how I was looking for dresses with sleeves? Well ... it turns out my arms are a bit bigger than I think the designer was planning for ...</p> <p>I got stuck. I got the dress on no problem, and was looking at it in the mirror and thought it was terribly cute.</p> <p>That's when my left arm started to go numb.&nbsp;<i>Numb. I couldn't feel my fingers.</i> Trying to get the dress off was a priority at that time.</p> <p>I pulled the dress over my head upside down and tried to tug it off.&nbsp;<i>It wouldn't come off.</i> The threads started to rip. I tried to pull it off further. No luck.&nbsp;</p> <p>My entire left arm is aching by this point and I clearly need help. Luckily, my sister was able to help wrestle the dress off.</p> <p>I now have a&nbsp;<i>bruise</i> on my left arm and my hand is still a bit numb. Ugh. I guess that won't be a dress I'm taking home with me :3</p> <p>PS: A chinchilla to help us feel better. </p>
