How are you supposed to get in it without pulling a muscle or taking a class that teaches the fine art of contortionism?

I’ve always hated shopping for dresses in general (I’m seriously supposed to track down one garment that fits properly on my chest, waist, arms, and hips simultaneously?), and finding the right thing to wear to a wedding is always tricky (do they really mean casual?).
