Hi Ali,
I received my daughter's red and white spot rashie and shorts and hat along with my son's hat a few weeks ago. They are gorgeous thanks! I bought my son the rugby all in one in navy and red at the baby and kids expo a few months ago. They christened them at Noosa last week and looked gorgeous! We saw a couple of other kids wearing Babes in the Shade too - adorable!
So now I want to get a rashie myself. I tried on my friend's black one - she bought it 2 years ago and it's a small. What size would that be now? A 10? It's just the right size :)
Thanks!

Dear Ali,
I was lucky enough to obtain a Blossom set for my daughter at your Mathilda's stall last year. This is my second set for her, however I am sure the first would still be going strong for years to come were she not outgrowing it! We have received many compliments on her beautiful and practical swimwear and I always take the opportunity to promote your fabulous local business. The candy stripe set is for our little cousin for Christmas and I know both girls will be pretty and protected Babes in the Shade this summer.
Thanks and regards,
Sarah

Thanks for a great product. We had seven days in Fiji and the kids swam from 6 am till 6 pm only getting out of the pool to eat and sleep.
The fabric and stitching have held up beautifully, the colour has not faded and the white piping has remained beautifully white in spite of various assaults of ice cream, sun cream, black mud, pawpaw juice and all manner of foods.
We will be buying another set this year, hopefully in the raspberry dot!

Dear Babes in the Shade,
For ages I've been meaning to send you these holiday snaps from our little holiday at Hyames Beach (it's said to have the whitest sand in the world), on the New South Wales' South Coast. Lots of people have asked us about the children's swimwear, and I keep sending them your way. I hope they follow up.
Thanks for all you do and do so stylishly!

Hi there,
I just wanted to email and thank you for my ladies rashie and tell you how popular I have been on the beach..... We went to the beach daily for 2 weeks while visiting family in Perth. Every time we went, someone stopped and admired my rashie or asked me where I got my rashie from. It became a running joke between my husband and me as I have never been admired in my swimwear before!
Thanks again,
Michelle

Hi Ali,
I recently purchased two sunshirts and bottoms for my daughter and you kindly sent the second purchase express post for me before our holidays. Just wanted to let you know my daughter received “best dressed” on the beach as we holidayed with a couple of families!! I passed your website on two a few people so hopefully they will purchase. This morning I have purchased a sunshirt for myself as I can’t have my daughter looking better on the beach!!! Thank you for a wonderful product. I hope your business continues to be successful.
Have a wonderful Christmas and every success for 2011.
Kind Regards
Leisa

Dear Ali
Thank you so much for sending my order so promptly. I thought they looked beautiful online but the actual product is absolutely gorgeous and so well made.
Will be spreading the word, although I am sure the product will do that itself.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Kindest regards

Thankyou! Your togs are super cute!! They are meant to be Xmas presents but I don’t think I can wait that long, before I show them to my girls!
Thank you so much for the extra bikinis; they will all be put to good use!
Best regards,
Sarah 16/11/2010

Hi,
we tested out the Babes in the Shade rashie, shorts and hat on our trip and I had lots of mums coming up and commenting on how lovely the outfit was and where they could get it. Such good quality, attractive bathers!
Thought you might like to see a pic.

Hi guys received my order the other day and its just gorgeous and so fast thank you so much. Regards Jamie 5 October 2010
Hi Ali,
Thank you so much for the gorgeous sun swimwear for my girls. I love it. They are going to look too cute for words. My parcel was placed on my front step and I was inside with a client. When she left I was so excited I ripped open the package to look and show her. She immediately took a flyer, so hopefully you'll hear from her soon too. I will definitely pass on the cards to others.
Thank you again. I'll be back for more next year!
Kind regards,
Jodie

We were at the beach yesterday, and I put some friends onto your site. I love the products,as it is so difficult to find long sleeve rashies.
The full zip rashie is excellent for my 4 year old. We were recently in the Philippines, and we even recieved comments over there! It was awesome, as he could just take it on and off all day long.
Thanks, I hope your business is doing well.

Thank you for my order which arrived yesterday. Your advice on the sizes was perfect. My daughter loves her bikini and the boys love their Euro leg swimmers. Your products are beautifully made and very well priced. Congratulations on providing a wonderful product for children and families. I will be sure to tell all my friends about your products.
Best Regards,

Hi Ali
What a lovely surprise I had this morning, not only had my order arrived so quickly, but a freebie bikini for my little girl. Thanks ever so much, she is feeling very spoilt. We just love ‘Babes in the shade’. Thanks again.

Dear Ali,
I am so thrilled with your products! My daughter has lived in her candy stripe togs, sunshirt and skirt and always receives lovely comments with people asking where she got them from – so much so that we bought the next size up when she outgrew her first set! The boys have also loved their sunshirts and today I am the proud owner of a Women’s rashie and I couldn’t be happier!! The fabric and fit is fabulous! These garments are durable and made to last. A real find. Thank you for branching into women’s wear too!
Best wishes
Julie

Dear Ali,
Thank you for my beautiful order that arrived today, and especially for the extra bikini. I have had the Babes in the Shade range before and have been very happy with them. It is so hard to find beautiful, plain swimwear for girls that is not covered in "butterflies" and "princesses" (yuk!).
I will hang on to the cards you sent me and recommend you to friends. I look forward to keeping an eye on your new range.
Many thanks again,
Jill

Dear Ali Many thanks my order arrived today to much excitement from my daughter who has never owned a bikini before let alone a pink polka dot one! So thanks I am sure I will be ordering more from you and will post your leaflet on the school notice board. Regards Janine 22 October 2009
Dear Ali,
I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful tankini and sun shirt we just received.
I've ordered things online before, and so often products look and sound good, but when received they disappoint. Your Babe's in the Shade stuff was the opposite. The quality was so good, and the parcel arrived so quickly! I will certainly recommend your stuff to all my friends.
I couldn't be more pleased...do you think you'll ever make stuff for grown ups?
Thanks

Just a quick note to let you know that we received our ordered articles
last week and we love them. Lily our 3 year old would wear them all day
if given the opportunity she is very cute indeed.
Many thanks and I am passing the details of the website around to all
those mothers that are admiring them.

Well done - i think the tops are fantastic value! My 2 boys love wearing them - can't wait for my baby to grow so he too can fit into them (have you thought about doing an all in one baby suit???)

my daughter wears the long sleeved sunshirt (flower/red) one all the time for swimming. The amount of people that have commented on it is amazing - I just keep passing on your website to them all! Just wish you sold the pants individually so I wouldnt have to buy the whole tankini set!
22 Jan 2009, Kartini
fantastic quality! and love the long sleeves too - would be interested in longer pants too.

Love your stuff - great idea and I wish you all the best. Little bit of feedback - I would love to see you selling just the bikini bottoms, without the tops. My daughter wears her sun shirt and bikini bottoms most of the time and I find it a waste to have to buy the top as well.... any thoughts?

Well done! I bought my first 2 sun shirts from you today. My boy (5) put his on straight away and wore it all day, in and out of the water. Our neighbour commented on how lovely both my kids looked and how great it was to see the kids wanting to be sun safe in very good looking outfits. Thanks again

very exciting and gorgeous prints but sorry that babes did not include smaller sizes as I have two 4month-grand-children one of whom lives at the beach so will have to buy later..

Love your product. Have you thought about doing matching boardies as I really like my kids to also protect their legs from the sun? Congratulations on a wonderful product!

My kids love their new beach gear! The colours and styles are fantastic and I will definitely recommend them to my friends.

Thanks for the fantastic service. I ordered our shirts on Wednesday and had them by Friday. The kids think they are marvellous and so easy for them to get on and off.

You have 5 happy little customers! My good friend Gabby bought each of my five children one of your gorgeous sunshirts (and matching hats for the girls). They all love them! Every age thought they were fabulous. Ruby and Genevieve have not removed theirs after trying them on earlier this morning. I will photograph them wearing them and send them through for your album. They can't wait to wear them to Mooloolaba tomorrow!

You guys are amazing.....I ordered my daughter a new sunshirt on Tuesday and it arrived on Thursday ready for our holiday. Truely exceptional customer service and the sunshirt is gorgeous! Thank you so much.
