The quality is superior in all of their dresses and I wanted to buy every dress in the store for my daughter. Owner was very helpful giving suggestions with styles and sizing. I ended up getting the one flower girl dress for my 14 months old daughter and it fits her so well. Lastly, I can't believe how affordable it was too as compared to bridal stores that charges average few hundred dollars. I will definitely be revisiting for future special occasion dresses.

They have em. I last went there for pajamas for myself and was very impressed with the service. Kathy offered pajama fitting advice (you need to move around, she said) as well as offered to let me take them home, try them on, and return them for a different size. I thought, 'how nice!' The pajamas are great quality (60% cotton apparently) thick and luxurious with the classic styling we all are familiar with including the piping around the edges and the breast pocket. This place is worth a look if you are in the neighbourhood.

Some of us are relegated to providing material items while some needed for more hands on help. Having gone through a handful of nieces and nephews I think I have the clothing needs down pat. My mantra is you buy special occasion clothing that evokes a reaction out of the parents to earn kudos. Basics and essentials you leave for the parents 'only organic non bleached clothing for the items that touches the baby was a request in one case' and I nodded sure I will let you find out where to get them. For the emotional reaction items I mentioned this place fits the bill. Their color scheme is sure to please. The workmanship looks ok as I usually save the quality aspect to the 5 wash test. The staff was helpful on the few visits so I would recommend this store for a visit or two.

I am writing to formally complain about the conduct of a sales associate during my recent visit to…read moreyour store on August 29th at 4:19 pm. I found the interaction inappropriate, presumptuous, and inconsistent with the level of professionalism I would expect from a customer-facing employee. Upon entering the store, the sales associate greeted me by saying, "Hey Mama." I was taken aback by this and asked her directly why she was referring to me as "Mama." Rather than acknowledging that the comment was inappropriate or simply apologizing, she responded, "I assume you were a mama." I left your store immediately. I find this response particularly concerning. The sales associate did not know me, had no personal information about me, and had no basis for making an assumption about my personal circumstances. Regardless of what she may have intended, referring to a customer as "Mama" based on an assumption about their appearance, pregnancy, or parental status is presumptuous and crosses an appropriate professional boundary.

I don't have kids, so what the heck do I know about buying gifts for them? Answer - nothing! And…read morethat's why a store like Little Peeps is great. I go in, explain the age and gender of the child I'm buying for, give a few adjectives about the parents, provide a budget, and BOOM they bring out a bunch of stuff to choose from. The store itself is really cute. The people who work there are pleasant, and they sell some fair-trade and environmentally friendly toy and clothing options. Worth a gander if you're in the neighbourhood.

Not very forthcoming with a way to fix it. Crummy. Another staff person eventually found it or another button randomly in a drawer. Worst part is- day of baptism: black security tag left inside dress! Wow. Explain that discomfort to a baby!! Tried to get it off. Impossible.

All sort of animal motives, nice colors, great materials, and especially Canadian signs such as bears, cariboos, owls, beavers, etc. So if you want something Canadian for your baby, go to Hatley or Roots, which is pretty close by. You will go crazy from the cuteness exposed there ;)

I love kids cloths - the itsy bitsy teeny tiny sizes and the adorable prints, and until recently I…read moresimply admired them from a distance. Occasionally when I came back to Canada to visit, friends would send me with lists of clothing to picking up here and bring back to them. But I never really had reason to purchase these pint sized items. But with a niece and another on the way I'm in full aunty mode. Although I find kids clothing expensive in general given the size of the clothing and how quickly it gets outgrown (not to mention dirty) Hatley's pricing is quite reasonable, especially if it's on sale - then if you can think far enough in advanced (or don't mind having last seasons prints) there are some fantastic bargains to be had. I just picked up the most adorable raincoat for my niece (on sale of course) and am putting it in the mail tomorrow!

The lady who helped us (who I can only assume was the owner) was the sweetest and kindest sales person I've ever met. She made great suggestions, was so friendly and really was so patient with my super cranky daughter that would not stop crying. She tried to cheer her up and even gave her a lollipop. She put together a whole outfit which was all reasonably priced. You honestly can't pay for that kind of customer service these days so it was refreshing to see. I will definitely keep Kostatex in mind for future events. This place and its staff are just simply amazing!

So much is only available on the web. Well if you are looking for: - baptismal outfits - christening gowns (including the traditional long ones), and outfits for boys - formal wear for young girls or boys (for flower girl or confirmation or other such events) Well..... LOOK NO FURTHER!! This place is great! So much selection, and the staff and owner couldn't have been more helpful! My niece lives out of Toronto, so they let me take pictures and send to her, and then we discussed it on the phone and we made the choice over which one we wanted. This is a small family run business but they have been on the Danforth for a long time. That speaks for itself.... and frankly based on the service I had today, they'll be there for much longer! So if this is the type of clothing that you are looking for - head on over -- you won't be disappointed!! Outfits were available in every price range - so no matter what your needs and budget, you'll find something here! (BTW - some other lady was in there -- and like me, noticed their new sign and went in and found exactly what she was looking for). These folks are few and far between -- so to have a shop where you could see the goods, match shoes and socks etc to it --- wonderful!

Before you think this is the children's line for the sultry Bebe's women fashion line, it is NOT. Back to your search before you start dressing your child like one of those Bratz dolls. And in most RANDOM stores I've found in Toronto, it's gotta be this one. Bebe is located just north of Pape Station and specializes in baptism and first communion clothing. It's Greek obvs. I know it's been around for over 20 years. I also know the window display just changed in 2010. It is the store that won't die. VIBE So for fun, I decided to go in here with a friend and it was so awkward because 1. we had to knock on the door to get in and 2. the lady didn't speak English. So naturally, we pretended we were married looking for a christening gown for our child. It didn't go over so well. The lady could hardly understand us. That said, man, there are a LOT of white mini-gowns in here. I'm not sure of the price points. We didn't get that far. OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK Bring a Greek friend with you. It may help if you're making a serious purchase. Otherwise, are you us? Do you pretend to have a husband so you can peep into a store you've wondered about for 20 years? Yeah...
