I created zip my dress® because the zipper pullers on the market wouldn't work on an invisible zipper. If I needed help with my zipper in the morning, I would run next door to my neighbor, Jan. She would quickly zip me up and I'd dash off to work. Sometimes if Jan wasn't home, I'd throw on a sweater and ask someone at work for help.
After divorcing in 2011 and moving, I was completely alone. I missed Jan. I needed to find a way to be independent.
After a lot of trial and error, I made a zipper puller that worked. It wasn't long before friends and family wanted pullers for themselves. On a whim, I took my puller to a patent attorney. That was the beginning of zip my dress® -- the best solution for zipping your own dress!
One of my favorite quotes is from Albert Einstein: “In the middle of every difficulty, lies opportunity.” It is so true! So tell us what has inspired you to be independent? We would love to hear your story. Post a reply on our blog here or share it with us on our Facebook page.
