Hey guys, ok so my debs is in a few months and i got a beautiful dress. Only problem is it won't zip up in the side/ribcage area! it will zip up as far as there(it's a side zip dress) and won't go anymore is it possible this could be fixed by dress maker/seamstress? Thanks!

Should be able to. Depends on how much unused cloth is at the ziip area. If not, some will sometimes put material that looks like the rest of the dress to give you a bit more room (had to get an old suit trousers extended, and that's pretty much what they did). If you bought it in a large department store (eg; Brown Thomas), they usually have a department to do so.

Do you mean it won't zip up because it is too tight or because the zip broken?

If the zip is broken a seamstress could replace the faulty zip.

If it is too tight it depends on the dress whether or not it can be let out.

It won't zip up because it's too tight around the rib cage
