History Of Costumes By Betty

I had loved to sew all my life. In 1966 I joined a clown club and I made my first clown suit. Then I was asked to make them for some of the members of the club. With my background and my love for sewing this was just what I needed. We were seen around town at various parades and activities.

Soon clowns from other clubs asked about our costumes. They wanted me to sew for them a couple years later the International Shrine Clown Association held their MidWinter Convention at the same time as our Winter Carnival. Clowns across the country attended and requests for costumes started coming in from them. At that time 3 clowns from Texas approached me and asked if I could attend their local convention as a dealer.That was the beginning of my travels as a costume dealer.

I have attended conventions in nearly all of the 50 states. I have dealt in Nova Scotia, England, Puerto Rico, Japan, and many other places. Costumes by Betty has helped me experience my passions of sewing, creativity, interacting with people, and being able to help others discover their passions.

Lite Lined Tramp Suit
Fabulous Costume. I saw it in a parade and had to find out who made it. Had to be a Betty Cash Costume and it was! Way to go Betty!

Pleated Shoulder Clown Shirt
Nicest shirt on the market. Cost is great compared to other clown shirts sold on the market. Why go anywhere else?

Suspenders
Great clasps, will not come off when a child tugs on it.

Makeup Brushes
Best brushes on the market. Great for clown grease paint, but even better with the face paints I use on the kids.

Bib O'Alls
racently had Betty make me short Bibs for those hot summer days. Tried them at an indoor gig and they were awsome. High socks and short bibs, great. The look is great and they are cool in climate. Thanks Betty for another awsome job and a great idea. Try them, you'll like them.

Lite Lined Clown Dress
A really great dress for thsoe hot summer months. This is also a great costume for the beginner clown that just can't afford the more expensive outfits on the market. I am a seasoned clown and still buy these dresses for the value. PS: They wash well too, so not so much ironing anymore!

Lite Lined Baby Doll
I purchased two of these dresses over a year ago and they are still looking new and fresh. Everyone I see raves about the bright colors and coordinated pantaloons. I love my costumes, because they are wash and wear. No more ironing! I plan to buy two more for this summer.
