seam ripper

Answer 2

To remove the zipper use a seam ripper and carefully break the threads until the zipper will come out.

Answer 3

Get a stitch ripper from Wal-mart sewing section (or use a razor blade) and carefully shred the thread stitches between the zipper face and the inside of the dress.

Go slow, inch by inch.
