To Ms. Andrea C on Behalf of Kim's Tailor I am Joseph Kim’s daughter and was asked to speak on his behalf. We do remember you and again, we apologize you were not satisfied with our work. We always strive for customers to leave their final fitting happy and 100 percent satisfied. Since this was unfortunately not the case for you, we asked for you to return so we could remedy the situation and when that was refused, we sent a refund in the amount that you had said would be fair compensation. Kim’s Tailor built their repu... read more

I am extremely disappointed with how my dress turned out. I cannot speak to other jobs he does, but if you want a perfect wedding dress, I would look elsewhere. Do your research. Go somewhere where they actually have picture proof of their work. Kims Taylor has a lot of great reviews, but curiously no pictures with any of them. That should have been a red flag for me. I paid Kim's Tailor over 400 dollars and based on the great reviews I expected it to look perfect. Instead I'm now having to take it to someone else to basica... read more

Kim does beautiful work! He's so busy though you'd better give him a couple of weeks to get the job done!

I originally bought my dress from David's Bridal, however, they assured me they wouldn't be able to alterations I wished to have done. I googled a few places and came across Kim's Tailors. Don't let the place fool you - It's a little shop in Valley West, but like any other hole in the wall place, the quality makes it stand out! He did EVERYTHING I asked him to do quickly and with the highest quality. He took my dress out and in in all the right places and you would never seen know it was worked on. By request of me - he also... read more

I was very pleased with the alterations that were done to a suit and tuxedo. Very friendly staff and quite reasonably priced for the quality received. I will continue going back as long as I live in the Des Moines area.

Best in the metro I have been going here for over 26 years and Joseph and his team are the best in the metro. Who do you know that you can order suit material and have them make you a suit that fits like a glove . GO HERE YOU WONT BE SORRY . I dont even worry about buying pants or shirts that fit because I know Kims will make them fit

Original Tailor of Des Moines, IA – Kim's Tailors is an excellent business that has been around for almost 40 years at Valley West Mall. My family and I have been going to him for as long as I can remember. I am never disappointed with his work. He knows how to fix any problem and can finish the tailoring in less than a week. I have brought in a variety of different fabrics such as denim and leather and I never leave disappointed. Because I am only 5'1, I always went to Mr. Kim to get my dresses altered for the high school f... read more

Amazing job done – I took my wedding dress there along with my 5 out of 6 bridesmaids and Mr. Kim did a wonderful job! My wedding dress was bought in a sample sale so he basically needed to make it a completely different size. I was apprehensive because he only requested one fitting but the end result was that it fit me like a glove! He was professional and friendly. One of my bridesmaids took her dress somewhere else and they ended up doing a botched job which ended in her dress ripping at the zipper. Mr. Kim was able to do... read more
