Great little shop with a pretty good selection of formal wear dresses for high school and college events. The owner is super sweet, responsive and helpful. The prices of dresses definitely match their quality but are very reasonable. Sometmes I wish they had a few more choices that didn't look so similar to other stores (the old store they seemed to have more room and stock) but still definitely stop by (well actullay make an appointment) to this great dress shop! read more

I saw the dresses in the windows while my husband was having his haircut. Unfortunately, shopping is by appointment only and you have to reach out on Instagram. Looks pretty affordable from what I could see- some of the short dresses I saw ranged from $200- $350. Perfect place for homecoming or prom I'm sure. For my age group, perfect place for... every weekend, New Years, Valentine's Day, Traveling, Dinner- lots of potential. read more

Wonderful store! Great selection of dresses and very friendly service. I appreciate hoe they guide you if you need, but don't stay with you the entire appointment. We also enjoyed how it was more of a family-owned business. The dresses were beautiful and very reasonably priced. Found my prom dress in one day here! :) read more

Walking into the Platinum Zipper is like walking into your best friend's closet (if your best friend was in a lot of weddings or did beauty pageants and therefore had a lot of stock dresses). Cristina, the store owner, greets you as soon as you come in- and is eager to help you find your perfect dress. I hate dress shopping- but Cristina's friendly conversation made me feel like I was hanging out with an old friend. And it took the stress right out of it. I visited this store after a bride sent me an awful potential bridesmaid dress to try on. I couldn't let this happen so I came in here needing help. Cristina didn't ask "what color" i was looking for. Instead- she asked what color the flowers were...and was the wedding at night? and what color was the brides dress?(apparently white isn't the only color anymore).... all information she used to help steer us in the direction of a dress that would compliment the overall theme. She also took into account the body types of the bridesmaids- finding dresses that she had seen be flattering on many sizes. We went through catalogs and she even gave some options on Mother of the Bride & Mother of the Groom. All the dresses seem reasonably priced here- the ones we were looking at were all under $100 (try doing that at David's Bridal). I think the specific specialty of this store is quince' dresses- but while I was in there, someone was trying on prom dresses, someone picked up a bridesmaid dress, and someone else was looking for a "special occasion" dress. I didn't leave the store with a dress- as I had to report some information back to the bride- but I will be back once we decide on a dress! read more

I just had an amazing experience shopping for a dress at The Platinum Zipper. The owner, Christina, worked with us until we found the perfect dress. She really knows what she's doing and has an amazing selection. This will be my new go to. read more

Prom, homecoming, graduation, birthday, you name it, they have it. I've been going to Platnium Zipper for about 4 years now. Every time, it truly is an amazing experience, and Christina (owner) and her sister are so helpful and genuine. The dresses are amazing quality from the best brands around, and there is a great selection as well. I highly recommend visiting The Platnium Zipper!! read more

I was looking nice for a prom dress,band after going through quite a few traumatizing and awful experiences at other stores, we accidentally found this place. There is no better place to get a gown. The owner was fantastic and would suggest dress styles that, even if they weren't your initial intent, would end up being beautiful on. They even had heels you could slip on while trying on dresses. Being from New Jersey meant we were a little worried about how to get it, but the dress I picked would be coming from New York City and we had it the next day. Absolutely phenomenal. read more

The owners here at The Platinum Zipper have done an amazing job with grass roots marketing. My daughter just had to come here before homecoming to meet the owner and see all the dresses that had flooded her instagram account. The owner was onsite and interacted with every customer, which is no small feat during the busy homecoming season. There is the not so great interaction - when you're told "you can't have that dress, or even try it on, because it's already been chosen by another for your school's homecoming." And there is the positive interaction when you find "the one" (from the remaining allowed dresses) to bring and home and be banned from others. This interaction always ends with a smile and a photo with the owner, before you walk out the door. The picture with finger(s) up, signifying 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc... dress ever purchased, will likely end up on instagram and continue the circle of social media advertising that has made this little dress shop a must go for any high school girl. I would also add the selection here was better than most other stores we visited. The price seemed high for the quality. Most of the dresses are typical of Chinese mass-produced inexpensive garments. Two, that my daughter tried, already had rips or tears in the seams just from being tried on by others. But, that is not unusual for this type of purchase in this type of store. The dresses were still beautiful and on point with current trends/styles. These dresses are usually bought for a one time use, not long lasting durability. All in all, I'd recommend this store and I will likely return for the next big event in my daughter's social life. read more

I absolutely love going to the Platinum Zipper. It is my go-to place for dresses. That was my first stop for my quinceñera dress, homecoming dresses, and pretty soon you will see me in there looking for a prom dress. We also bought a dress for my sister and mother there, as well as a suit for my brother. Christina (the owner of the store) is the friendliest person ever and has always helped me find a dress that fits me, the occasion, and my budget beautifully. She will work with you to make sure you get your dream dress. She is AMAZING! And an added bonus is that she also speaks spanish, she could effectively communicate with my mother which made the process even smoother. I definently recommend the Platinum Zipper to everyone. read more

A friend of my daughter's recommended we go to The Platinum Zipper and I am so happy we did! We had been to a couple other stores prior to coming into The Platinum Zipper today (March 30, 2019) for a dress for her senior prom. I so wish we would have just started here! We were welcomed as soon as we walked through the door by the owner's husband and he explained where to find the gowns we were interested in. It was not too much longer that the owner herself came by to help us. She was helping everyone in the store and very hands on with all the customers. Not something you find just anywhere and I loved it! My daughter found her perfect prom gown and I was thrilled with the price. I would recommend The Platinum Zipper and we will definitely return for future purchases. Our experience from start to finish was exceptional. Thank you Platinum Zipper - you guys are AWESOME!! read more

Outstanding customer service and they treated my daughter like a princess. We came here for dresses for homecoming and left with beautiful choices for both, plus ideas for upcoming wedding parties and Sweet 16's. Fantastic selection and the owner made the entire experience very enjoyable and stress-free. Unlike other ST boutiques that we walked into (and out of), she takes her time with each customer and helps to find the perfect, appropriate choices. She's friendly and not intrusive. Perfect "mediator" for mom and daughter dress shopping. read more
