Betty's Boutique expands for third time

DENTON – Betty’s Boutique offers attire for weddings, proms, dances, and quinceaneras, and owner Elizabeth Escobar is well known for her beautiful tailoring and alternations.

Elizabeth and her daughter Lizzie have recently expanded Betty's Boutique in Denton to include a third shop. Elizabeth opened a clothing store in 2012 in Easton and decided to move operations to Denton to the central downtown location on Market Street. Three years later she expanded to include the neighboring shop and now occupies three adjoining shops with walkways between.

The mother-daughter duo share running the business. Elizabeth handles all the details of clothing design and fittings, while Lizzie manages the store and consults with new clients. Dress alterations are all done onsite with close, individual attention. The duo helps each client through every detail of a wedding, including decoration design and emotional support.

"I love sharing people's special moments in their lives," Elizabeth says.

“I love working with my mom," Lizzie says, "I've seen her struggle through adversity and overcome challenges. She could easily have thrown in the towel when she turned 50; but she lifted her head up and kept going. She is doing all this for me to have something for my future. I appreciate everything she does."

Both mother and daughter are bilingual and help provide support for the Latino community.

“We want to do more for our town," Lizzie says, "we like it when people come in, even if it's just to talk. We love the community we have here.”
