Love Notes from our customers
"I CELEBRATE you my love... not only are you a genius at your craft but a beautiful woman -inside and out!!!!! I literally cannot imagine my life without you in it... your clothes are literally part of my DAILY life... and I am complimented so often on your creations that sometimes they seem like just a given component of my daily backdrop view of the world... they represent beauty and abundance and living right where we are... in the skin we're in! What a blessing you are to have given (and STILL to come) to us in this extravagant way... it is because of your first seeing the swan in me... that I have found the pond and swim proudly in it!!! I've emerged from the cocoon into the butterly and ooooohhhhhhhhhh, how you've dressed me!!!!! I love you dear one... and your clothes... and look forward to MANY, MANY, MANY years together!!!!! I'm EXCITED to see what the next chapter holds.... Sky's the limit baby!!!!"--Loving you, Cynthia Peiffer, California
"I got your e-mail today and decided to write a quick note to let you how you saved my life last summer. My son was getting married, and I needed something special and flattering for pictures. To make a long story short, I came upon your website and took a chance on the beautiful blue/green abstract print dress with the bolero back. When I got the dress and put it on my heart was in my mouth, because I didn't know what I would do if it didn't fit. Lo and behold, it did fit, and I realized it was probably the first time I had put on a dress that really fit me. Everything, including the length, was perfect, and I got loads of compliments. Thank you for your beautiful clothing and your kind and efficient customer service. I will be back!!" -- Stephanie Fauce, California "I wanted to let you know I got my dress--it was delivered last Fri. on my birthday!--and it fit perfectly! Thank you so much! I will truly feel like a goddess while wearing it. I just have to be careful not to outshine my daughter at her wedding on April 12th. I will recommend your site to my friends and keep you in mind for future clothing needs. Thanks again!" -- Sharon Councilman, Texas "I bought my first Astárte outfit(s) at my first Las Vegas BBW bash in 2001. I bought the black pants, jacket, top and skirt. My now husband, then boyfriend, had hurt his back the first day of the Bash and was in Sunrise Hospital all week, leaving me to fend for myself. I was new to this BBW stuff so I was sorta mad at him. that he dragged me to this party and then gets hurt. So my revenge was shopping. I stumbled onto the Astárte booth at the vendors fair. I fell in love with all the clothes. I have since bought six more pieces. They are like my children...LOL... I treasure each and every one. No matter when I wear them, on cruises, vacations, I get compliments! When we were on our last cruise, I had almost enough to wear an Astárte outfit to dinner each nite! I think I need one or two more so I can do a 10-day vacation wearing all my Astárte clothing. The cut and design makes me look like I have an hourglass figure! Ok Ok, a large hourglass...But my husband loves how I look in the clothes! And that's what its all about, looking great and feeling the confidence that beautifully made clothing does to you! Thank you both for making quality clothing that inspires me to be the goddess my husband thinks I am!" -- Deb Miller, Massachusetts "It has been two years since I found and ventured down to Astárte from nothern CA. My dear husband flew me down in a borrowed airplane so I could go to Astárte. It all started when I was looking for a dress to renew our vows. I could not find anything that was me. When I found Astárte on line while searching I was so excited and that exuberance continued when I hit their showroom. We had a wonderful time trying on clothes. I felt great in all of them. We found the perfect dress and silk duster. Everyone at the renewal wanted to know where I found the dress. They all said it was perfect. I still get tons of compliments each and every time I wear the dress and or silk duster. We are going on a Jazz cruise for my 50th! I know the exact place to find that perfect dress and outfit. Astárte! I tell anyone who is a Goddess and is looking for that perfect outfit and or dress to look up Astárte! Thank you for making clothes that help me look the way I feel!" -- Marianna Terhune, California "My sister Michelle and I always had the best time browsing at the store in Torrance, and we had a system: we would start at some rack in the store (any rack would do!), and slowly work our way around the store, thoroughly examining each item, ooh-ing and aah-ing over all the gorgeous clothes. We had to hit every rack, every display, and fondle each piece - and usually try something on! Eventually, you all realized we had a system, and left us to our own devices. We also have fond memories of all the in-store parties and fashion shows we've attended (and the food!), and the larger fashion shows, especially the ones on the Queen Mary - they were fabulous!" -- Jennifer Miller, California |
"I've been a customer since almost the very beginning. What I love about Astárte is the cut of the designs; they are so feminine and I had never seen anything like them before. No matter what size you are, there are designs that will look fantastic on you. I also love all the wonderful colors and fabrics. Every time I wear Astárte, I always get compliments on how fabulous I look, be it at work, for a special event, or at home. What I also love is that the garments are made to fit you, so if you are tall, short, whatever, you can have your own special creation made just for you and it fits! I love all the Astárte pieces I have collected over the years. They make me happy whenever I wear them - having confidence because I know I look fantastic! Thank you, and I will be a happy customer for years to come as well! " -- Michelle Berteig, California
"Last week I received my first Astarte garments and I am thoroughly delighted. The colors, the fit and design are all incredibly flattering and comfortable. On the day I first wore my [Olive Jungle] Entree Bias Dress to work, I received more compliments in an hour than I usually garner in a month - and I consider myself a pretty snappy dresser. Can't wait to see the new Entree designs. Unique and stylish - that's me." -- Deborah Chernoff, Connecticut "Walked outside this morning and discovered a FedEx box on my front porch...a day earlier than expected. I was on my way out, so I just took it with me in the car...where I opened it like a kid at Christmas. I loved the colors. I was scared to death to try it on. (Would it fit; would I love it?) I just stared at it all day as I got in and out of the car running my errands. When I finally got home, I came inside and dropped everything to try on my eagerly anticipated handpainted carp jacket. Well. I slipped it on and it was a perfect fit! I floated out into the living room where my husband awaited his fashion show. His reaction was a spontaneous - WOW. His words were: "That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen you in. I've never seen anything fit you so well. I wish all your clothes fit you like that!" (We've been married 32 years.) I LOVE my jacket!!! You all did a beautiful, beautiful job. I am very pleased and happy. I feel beautiful in it! Thank you so much!" -- Daphne Summerhill, Nevada I had to send you off a note. I had gastric bypass surgery and had lost 200 lbs. I still have a considerable amount to go but I while going thru my clothes I found one of the pieces that I had gotten from you. I had worn it to my nieces wedding and I remember how wonderful you were to me in my struggle to find something beautiful for a very special day. I knew that the dress would be way too big but there was no way that I was parting with it so I took it to the area seamstress and she adjusted it to fit. I had to lose the beautiful tail that the dress had because I wanted it for work and I can no longer wear high heels. Knowing I had 6 more pieces of your clothing I set off on a mission to find them. I did and had the adjustments made to them. Now the thing is that I made these purchases about 12 or 13 years ago. The pieces look as if I just bought them. I get so many compliments whenever I wear them.I am a little late in writing this thank you to you but wanted to do so as you were so wonderful to me and really helped me. --Jeanne |
