:eek::eek:. Can you not devise a way that she's unable to take her clothes off? maybe put them all on with the fastenings at the back? that way you may discover that you have a budding escapologist if she still manages to go "au naturel"

The heat index here was around 105 so she just had a summer dress on. It buttoned up the back so I thought she couldn't get out of it. I was wrong. She's clearly a budding contortionist

:banghead: You pin the two sides of the zip or row of buttons together, making it (hopefully) impossible for little fingers to remove. :rolleyes:

The lowest button on one my dress shirts is - irritatingly - far too high.

I often catch my dadbod trying to make an escape through the course of the day and wonder how long I've been walking around looking like a professional Onslow.
