JD is the nicest, most charming and pleasant gentleman. Bringing him our clothes is always a pleasure. He takes his time to review each garment with me, asks when I would like it ready, gives me an honest estimate on time, and price when tailoring is required. I brought him a men's Burberry coat that I got secondhand for $20.00, and that fit like a tent, and he was able to tailor it to my slim, 5'6" frame. He's turned my ugly vintage, bell bottom corduroys into slim-fitting skinny slacks. He's repaired suits, de-pilled cashmere sweaters and done our dry cleaning. I don't go anywhere else to have these things done. This is the man. read more

We recently moved into town and had to find a tailor to hem and adjust our sons suit. We called around and the only person who gave us a quote was JD. He reminds me of my grandparents generation where a man stands behind his word and his work. They got my son's clothes done in two days and we'll definitely be using them for any future tailoring needs! read more

JD is a wonderful person and does fine tailoring. I won't go anywhere else for alterations.

JD is one the friendliest, polite, accommodating, and professional people I have met in quite some time. Excellent tailoring on many items I brought in. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Two months ago I left an heirloom to be cleaned. After four calls spaced a week or so apart, they still do not know where it is. Multiple times I was told they would get back to me. They have never called. I initiated all calls. If it is something important, I would not recommend leaving it with them. read more

I've been using JD as my tailor for over 25 years and have followed him to three different locations - he is that good. He has fixed poor jobs done by other tailors, and I've never had to have anyone re-do his work. Besides that, he is a truly great person, and his word is his bond. I hope he is around for another 25 years. read more

JD is wonderful. He couldn't be more personable or make his customers feel more special. He has an amazing memory and does a phenomenal job on everything I've had tailored or cleaned. I had a seam rip out in a dress and he repaired it perfectly for half the cost of what I expected. He's reasonable, honest and I recommend him to anyone that will listen! read more

I just cannot say enough good things about JD. A true gentleman! I have brought JD work on multiple occasions and have never been disappointed with the quality of work. Work is always completed promptly and at a reasonable cost. JD helps keep costs low by not accepting credit cards so remember that when you pick your work up. I will not take my business to anyone else. read more

As a note he just moved across the parking lot. I stopped in on Friday and asked JD (the proprietor) if he could alter a suit by Wednesday for an interview. He said he could. The suit fit perfectly and my trousers were pressed crisply. Flew to my interview where we were expected to arrive "dressed to impress". I was offered the job on the spot. I thank this establishment in part for getting hired because my suitcoat was a frumpy mess prior to JD altering it. read more

They did great work on the suit I needed tailored to fit me. I had some pants I needed brought in around the waist and they did a great job on them. I also had 2 white suit shirts one was very discolored and they got it looking brand new and pressed beautifully. I would absolutely go back to them again. I will send anyone I know that needs tailoring or cleaning to them. Quality work done and friendly service. It's great when you find a company that meets and exceeds your expectations. You will not be disappointed. read more

Very friendly. Sewing and tailoring is very good and with reasonable price and in timely fashion. Dry cleaning is expensive probably because it is send out read more

This is the only place I trust. I go out of my way to get there because the owner does all the work himself. He's a Taylor and dry cleaner. The best of the best. read more

They were wonderful. Had a really special shirt dry cleaned and they took wonderful care of it.

This was my first experience with an alteration. JD was friendly and helpful, and quick! I don't feel the need for the services often but the next time i do i know where I'll be going! read more

I don't usually need a dry cleaner but had a few items that needed professionally cleaned. I just used Google to find a place near me without doing much research. That was my first mistake. When you walk in you're greeted with a sign that says "You want it when?" so service is clearly not a priority here. The "Customer is Always Wrong" schtick is annoying to me. The guy behind the counter made a point to tell me it would be a week and they only accept cash and check because it's 1990 apparently. Since I wasn't in a hurry I said it was fine, making a note to pull out and dust off my checkbook from the depths of my catchall drawer at home. I came a week and a half later and when I gave my name the same man slowly blinked at me and just flat out said it wasn't ready. I half thought it was his weird humor but actually no he had not gotten around to my items. He said that my items needed "extra attention." He said if I came back he would stay open 30 minutes later especially for me. I guess for as much extra attention as my items needed they could also be done in an hour. Curious. I ran some more errands and when I came back when he told me to, and I kid you not, the guy was like "Well I've been waiting for you!" in a chastising manner. One shirt still had a stain and one blazer was super wrinkled. I'm sure to everyone's enormous surprise I shall not be dusting off the old checkbook for this place again. read more

I noticed this dry cleaner/alteration shop in the strip mall that holds a consignment shop and a mexican bakery I like to visit. So I decided to give them a try when I needed a zipper replaced on a discount pair of jeans I bought (due to the broken zipper obviously). I dropped the jeans on Monday and received a call from J.D. on Wednesday that they were finished. The work was professional and the price was reasonable. The best part was meeting J.D. on pick up day. He is good at what he does and he was a joy to speak with. He knows his stuff and I will be bringing in more items soon, when I change out my wardrobe for Summer. He only accepts cash or checks, so come prepared. read more

JD gives exceptional service. Honest and welcoming. I will always drive a few extra miles for this type of service...

Excellent Service. The work that I needed done only took two days... I was very pleased with the service!! The store appearance was nice as well. Of course I will go back. Before, finding Frederick's other cleaners couldn't help. But, Frederick's did read more

He does great work and if it's not right, he will make it right. JD is friendly, prompt and always on time. As a rep for a clothing line, he has helped me look good for my customers and I am honored to recommend him to them for all their tailoring and cleaning needs! read more

Called to get an estimate on a dry cleaning product. They were very informative and helpful. Also remembered a tailoring issue and they were not bothered by my add on request and gladly helped me with that issue too. I am very impressed. Thank you! read more

I would give more stars if I could! I was 26 weeks pregnant and a month out from being a bridesmaid in a wedding. They told me to bring the bridesmaid dress back 5 days before I left for the wedding so that the alterations would be as accurate as possible. It fit perfectly, was done quickly and at a great price! Highly recommended. read more

Brought in a curtain I had bought for our sliding door...needed 3 inches off the bottom as well as weights added to correct for a floor vent. JD did an EXCELLENT job...he is a great person...very personable and does GREAT work! Will definitely go back for future alterations and/or cleaning needs! Thanks JD! read more

J.D. Was awesome! He was very kind and he did an outstanding job on the alterations he made for my daughter's dress which was basically a wedding gown by removing the train, cutting the length and bringing it in to make it fit properly. Very pleased read more

I brought a three-piece men's suit in for alterations after finding Frederick's through Yelp. The proprietor was very accommodating, friendly, and the experience of his many years in this field shows. It was a small price to make me look like a million bucks! Be sure to bring your checkbook, though- credit cards are off their menu. read more

Today's fashion is all about the fit. A mediocre suit can become a designer suit with the right tailoring and customization. A recent trip to Frederick's Tailoring in Clive has convinced me to take all my dress pants, shirts and suits for JD to work his magic. He understood what makes a suit fit like a glove and the results were amazing. His prices are good, comparable to any other shop in town and I have no idea how he works as quickly as he does, but I had my suit back in 1 week (there were several adjustments to be made). Very satisfied customer. read more

JD knows service! As someone who was once new to Des Moines and searching for a place to bring my clothes to get dry cleaned, I am happy to only go here now! Read the other reviews and then check this place out for whatever you need done to your clothes! You'll never go anywhere else and JD only accepts cash. read more
