Finally received the dress on the 23rd November 2012 - tried it on the same nite to make sure it was fitting me and the zipper wasn't going up at all.  I decided that on Sunday 25th November 2012 I will try again with the dress as the function was that nite. (After doing my hair and make up I dressed and tried again with the zipper only this time the zip burst out so I eventually couldn't even wear my dress)  I really hate inverted zippers.  I now have to go get my new dress repaired.  Steups
