A Lifetime of
Stitching It Together
Betty Tailors started from a simple belief: your clothes should work for you, not the other way around. What began as a passion for sewing grew into a trusted Clive business serving the greater Des Moines area for over two decades.
Whether it's a wedding dress that needs a last-minute adjustment, a favorite pair of jeans that's seen better days, or a home project that's been sitting on your to-do list — Betty treats every job like it's her own.

What Our
Neighbors Say
"Betty fixed my wedding dress two days before the ceremony. I was panicking and she just calmly said 'I'll handle it.' She did — and it looked perfect."
"I've been bringing all my alterations here for years. Betty remembers my measurements and always makes sure the fit is right. That's the kind of service you can't put a price on."
"Called about a broken drawer slide and a torn curtain. She not only fixed both but showed me how to avoid the problem next time. Honest, helpful, and fast."
