Helen M, Enfield NSW Australia wrote on 6th September; Hi Alison, Just a note to say thank for you sending the robe it arrived today, I was not expecting it and the person who received it has stated he is over the moon with the robe, great colour and the feel of the material is wonderful, so high fives all around. Will definately recommend your website to friend and family. Regards, Helen (in asking for her permission to publish this testimonial Helen wrote further....) Morning Alison, By all means use my words, add more if you like because the service and product are wonderful. Thanks again, Helen

Frances B, Santa Rosa California United States wrote on 29th August; Dear Alison; I had to write to tell you how very pleased I am with my beautiful black peony cotton kimono! It arrived a few days ago and is even more lovely than I had hoped for. The weight is perfect, the fabric design is exquisite, and the garment is beautifully crafted. I couldn't be happier. Over 20 years ago, my husband gave me a kimono very similar to this one that I have worn, and loved, almost every day since. It has traveled with me far and wide and, well, it needed to go into "retirement." I had no idea, however, that I would have such difficulty finding a replacement that matched its beauty. There was nothing to be found in local boutiques, nor on any of the many websites that boast luxury robes and sleepwear. I felt I had come home when I found Beautiful Robes.com. Thank you for making these exceptionally fine garments available. Sincerely, Frances B. Santa Rosa, California 

Jenny, Mount Gambier SA Australia wrote on 29 June; Dear Alison, Yippee – my cotton dressing gown has arrived!  It is gorgeous and it fits beautifully. Thank you so much for all of your help and advice. I am confident that I shall now be the “smartest” outfitted patient in the hospital! The blue cranes is a beautiful design. My day has been made! Kind regards Jenny

Maryanne, Mordiallac VIC Australia wrote on 29 June; I received my Bamboo Chic Robe in the mail yesterday (Thursday) having only ordered it Monday. I was a bit sceptical about ordering online. I just wanted to say I'm absolutely thrilled with the robe. The quality is so much better than anything I have seen in store. The robe is so soft and warm I don't want to take it off! Thank you for your help with the sizing and for providing such a quality product. 

Chandra, Brunswick VIC Australia wrote on 27 June; Hi Alison Sorry about the delay in sending this feedback. My wife absolutely loved the navy Peony robe that I purchased in May. She's thinking about buying her sister one, as well! Thank you for your prompt, friendly and efficient customer service. It was a great shopping experience. Kudos! 

Sheridan, Sydney NSW Australia wrote on 16 June; Hi Alison, Firstly, thank you for your prompt reply to my enquiry last weekend regarding the length of robes. The silk crane robe arrived this week and I want to say that is absolutely gorgeous. Fabulous quality silk and very well made. Such a delight to wear. I am wondering if it would be easier to wear with belt loops - but maybe you have decided not to do that for good reason? In any event I plan to purchase some more as gifts. Kind regards, Sheridan 

Audrey, Long Beach, California USA wrote on 16 June; Hi Alison, I don't think I told you... Your robes and other items are just beautiful.

I look forward to hearing from you! All the best, Audrey

Heather, Red Hill QLD Austalia wrote on 5 June; 'Hi Alison, I picked up the robe from the post office yesterday, it is absolutely wonderful, thank you.

Kathryn, Newtown NSW Australia wrote on 28 April; 'Hi Alison, thank you for supplying such a unique product. It makes all other robes look dreary.

You make online purchasing a dream. Thanks Kathryn'

Ro, Fitzroy VIC Australia wrote on 13 April; ' Dear Alison, I haven't come across a better gift EVER! I was trauling the internet for a robe for my boyfriend and came across your site.  I received the first one and immediately ordered a silk one for mum.  It has just arrived and I am over the moon.  So soft and like liquid gold.  I want to keep it for myself..... but I have a purchased planned for my birthday from my man!  Keep the great products up and the outstanding service!'

Julia, Torquay VIC Australia wrote on 9th March; 'Hi Alison, thanks for your help with selecting my Pines and Crane robe.  Oh my gosh, it is even better in the flesh than in the pictures, and your models made them look pretty goregous!  I am a bit bigger than your models, but it still looks outstanding and the designs are really memorable'. I'll be proud to have my regular visitors stay overnight and rather than seeing dragon lady.... they will see a super spunky me! Again, Thanks! Julia'

Martia, Melbourne VIC Australia wrote on 9th March; 'Thanks for sending my robe so quickly.  It is of outstanding quality and superior to anything I have seen in the shops.  You should be proud of your business and product.  Well done. Martia"

Rebecca, Surry Hills NSW Australia wrote on 8 March; 'Hi Alison, thanks so much for getting my mother's silk robe to me so quickly... I had heard about your website and wanted to make sure I could get one for Mother's day coming up!  My sister had ordered one from you a few months ago and everytime I see her in it I just want one for myself!  Well, today's purchase isn't for me, rather for my mum, but at least I know she will have THE BEST Mother's Day gift in the world!  I love it!  Cheers Rebecca'

Sandra, Merimbula NSW Australia wrote on 4th March; 'Hi Alison I wanted to thank you firstly for offering your robes in Australia, but also for helping me fit it so perfectly.  I am a size 16 - 18 and many times being that bit bigger there is often not enough fabric to cover all my lumps and bumps in robes.  Your robe fitted me beautifully and the colour looks outstanding (to remind you I got the flowing robe). A triumph and now I know you exist I will be back! Kind Regards Sandra' 

George, Gawler SA Australia wrote on 4th April; 'Hi Alison, the robe arrived with plenty of time to spare.  Thanks for following up on that for me.  My girlfriend loves the robe and I have to say so do I. I'll send my misus back to get her to get me one for my birthday! Cheers, George.'

Tony, Malaga WA Australia wrote on 5th April; 'Hello Alison , Sorry it's taken a few days to get back to you . The robe arrived Monday ( Tues was the birthday ) , a good start . It looks magnificent , feels fantastic and my wife is extremely happy . I must admit I'm not into robes , but trying to find one is very frustrating , hence your business and what a solution you provided . Thank you once again for your help and hopefully I can send some more business your way . Regards TONY'

Robyn, Eltham VIC Australia wrote on the 28th March; 'Hi Alison I was so pleased to have found your website. I have been looking around the larger chain shops in one of the major malls in Melbourne and found nothing that was interesting in terms of robes.  I really wanted one that was a decent quality and all seasons.  Interestingly there are some similar 'kimono robes' in some of those major stores that I saw but you could see straight through them the fabric was so thin!  And some in olyester! Yuk!  Keep up the great work - I'm getting one for mum for mothers day. Cheers Robyn'

Jenny, Hunters Hill NSW Australia wrote on the 27th March; 'Hi Alison, My husband received his gown yesterday. The pattern is really beautiful. It is a very generous fit, so will be very comfortable. The quality is also very good. Thankyou Jenny E'

Tania, Townsville QLD Australia wrote on 21st March; 'I've just read your other testamonials to get an idea of what to write and I'm still lost for words that no-one else has used before. UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL....too beautiful to wear and too beautiful not to show off to everyone! I only received my order half an hour, I rang my partner and informed him I'm in love with his robe as well sooooo I'll absolutely be ordering again in the near future.  Excellent commuunication, service and delivery.' 

Samantha, Kandos NSW Australia wrote on 13 March; (in response to my enquiring about the size she had ordered) ; 'Hi Alison, I appreciate your efforts to make sure I get the right size, but I am actually 187cm tall (6'1")! While I'm here, I should add that I was delighted by your website and products, and read your story with great interest. I'd nearly resigned myself to buying a robe in puce polyester from eBay when I found your site, which was like a breath of fresh air. Generally, clothes shopping is my least favourite activity, but I nearly swooned over your plum and crane silk robe (if I decide I can be trusted with silk, I'll probably be back for one), and I've got my eye on the men's koi robe for my partner's next birthday. Just beautiful. BTW, I also like the use of the "mature" model on your website - strikingly unusual and very refreshing, and she looks great! Thanks, Samantha'

Katrina, Wollongong NSW Australia wrote on 11 March; 'I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my robe. It wears and washes really well but most of all I feel lovely wearing it. I was given my robe as a present and was thrilled on receiving it. I have come to check your website to see about a gift for a friend of mine!  I really love my "beautiful robe!" '

Alison, East Brisbane QLD Australia wrote on 13 March; 'Hi Alison, He loved it and I may even have to put an order in for myself for Mother's Day. My children (2 & 5) are convinced that the fish are really dragons though - so cute at that age. Thanks again, Alison S'

Andrew, Warrandyte VIC Australia wrote on 29 February; 'Hi Alison, thanks for the great robe for my girlfriend. It was a bit of a last minute gift and it all worked out brilliantly. I like the fact that you have selected some really nice designs, and stock them in just one or two colours.  When I see a site with so many options, I run a mile as who can decide! Your products are simply presented and easy to choose. Thanks and will tell my friends. Cheers Andrew.'

Beth, Milsons Pt NSW Australia wrote on 29 February; 'Hi Alison, I have wanted to send you this message for a few weeks now but I've been so busy.  I just love the Plum and Crane Silk Robe I purchased from you.  I work as a lawyer in the city and have hectic days at work...... but on the way home all I can think of is getting out of my corporate gear and into that beautiful silk robe! No other way to describe it! Thank you so much.  I love it. Will be back for more for my sisters for their birthdays. Oh, great service too.  Well done. Kindest Regards, Beth'

Arai, Toowoombah QLD Australia wrote on 28 February; 'Hi Alison, your customer service through this process has been top notch.  When you helped me decide the best size robe for my wife it appeared to be no problem for you at all.... and she loves it and it fits perfectly.  A great anniversary gift. Keep up the great work.'

Claire, Glebe NSW Australia wrote on 27 February; 'Hi Alison, I received my package last night when I got back from work.... so exciting.  I just love the robe and thanks for the great customer service.  Can't wait to wear it tonight!!!'

Rebecca, Surry Hills VIC Australia wrote on 25 February; 'Hi Alison, thank you for delivering my sister her beautiful gift.  I chose your company as I had the need to send my sister who lives in Perth a great gift as she needed a pick me up (traumatic recent events), and I really didn't have time to organise the wrapping and card.  I didn't want to send flowers either, as a decent bunch costs the same as your robe... and only last a week. I liked the way your service includes everything, wrapping and cards, and I was so pleased about how excited my sister was when she rang me to thank me. A problem solved!! Well done and keep up the great work!'

Rob, Brisbane Qld wrote on 24 February; 'Thanks Alison for the excellent service.  No hastles, exactly what I was expecting. Great product.  Will be back.'

Katrina, Cordeaux Heights NSW Australia wrote on 21 February; 'Dear Alison, I bought myself one of your Beautiful Robes in Peony and I just can't get enough of it.  The colours and quality are outstanding.  I am able to wear it all year round as it is a perfect weight for our weather here in Australia.  Coming from a clothing retail background, I know quality.  You can truely see how carefully this robe has been sewn together.  Not a stitch out of place and the fabric is 100 times better than those in a regular retail store.  I loved it so much I purchased one a 3L in Sumo for my 23 year old son.  I wasn't sure he would wear a robe, as he never has before, but he just adores this one.  The robe shares his wicked sense of humour, and for the first week I am sure he was karate chopping at his mirror before he would appear!  Very funny!  Definitely number 1 on the gifts list this year.  I am really pleased I found your robes.  Also, I just love your website and those kids are gorgeous! Kindest Regards. Katrina'

Bruce, East Melbourne VIC Australia wrote on 12 February; 'The customer service provided by Alison was absolutely first class. Not only did she provide me with various styles and sizes of robes to choose from, but she guided me through numerous options, after finding out what I was looking for.  I ordered two robes a week before christmas and was delighted to receive them on my doorstep within a few days. The Japanese cotton is of the highest quality, such that I expect the women in my family to be wearing these gorgeous robes for many years to come. Although they are very light, they have a strength and substance about them and are definitely made for all year round wear. The dazzling Japanese art displayed on these robes make them unique and stunning fashion items. My wife and step-daughter were absolutely thrilled to receive these fabulous items as Christmas presents and they have both been wearing them just about every day since! I'm just waiting now to buy another one for my mum's birthday! At such low, low prices, these items offer incredible value.'

Nerida, Corrimal NSW Australia on 12 February; 'WOW! I can't believe my luck having found such an amazing website.  I ordered the plum and bush warbler robe and just adore it!  I gave it to myself because I deserve it and it makes me feel as special as I had hoped.  The quality of the fabric is outstanding and I don't believe there is any luxury robe on the market like it.  Forget the usual brands, go for the best.  I have told my girlfriends about it and they will be ordering soon.  Alison goes beyond the basics of customer service and I was really pleased to have the back up of the guarantee.  Made purchasing online really easy.  Thanks Alison!'

Keri, Collingwood VIC Australia wrote on 30 January: 'Thanks so much Alison, the Peony robe is just divine! The sumptuous quality and design add that splash of pizzazz tired mummy's deserve when rushing about after the kids. It also looks gorgeous just hanging on the wardrobe. A wonderful gift idea, we will be back!'

Ros, Abbotsford VIC Australia wrote on 18 January: 'I was looking for a Christmas gift for my mother. My mum has just about everything so I was really wondering what I could give her that was a useful yet gorgeous gift. I wanted her to feel feel beautiful and glamorous whilst quietly pottering around her home. She really required so little other than a reminder of how much I love her. The Plum and Bush Warbler Robe was perfect and mum loved it. She wears it every day! Also, mum loved it so much I went back and got another as a birthday gift for my beach-side residing friend. Having stayed with her many times she really needed the practicality of an all seasons dressing gown whilst still looking good when entertaining all her visitors and running around after her young family (breast feeders dream!!). Both she and I loved the wrapping and delivery service, it made her feel special for her special day. Greatest thing was it didn't impose on my busy schedule to provide her with a gift experience rather than a product in the mail. I'll be back for more! Thanks Alison!'

Imogen, Alphington VIC Australia wrote on 16 January; 'I bought my five year old son the Joyous Boys Pyjamas for Christmas, and they were received with delight! I have to admit I feel a bit smug when he dazzles grandparents and evening visitors with his elegant attire. His pyjamas make him feel magical and special and by all accounts are very comfortable. Beautiful Robes was a delight to deal with, prompt helpful and flexible. Thank you!'

Cherie, Hunter Valley NSW Australia wrote on 12 December; 'Dear Alison we love my silk robe and Harry's kimono pyjamas (he even wears it as a relaxing shirt for around the house). Thanks a bunch.  Will be buying for gifts this year! Cherie and Harry'
