Tom Whitfield, Special Services Task Force - Miss America Organization
"I've had the pleasure to interact with Jamye publicly and privately, particularly in Atlantic City on a continual basis, and have the utmost respect for her professionalism, talent as a designer and overall contagious enthusiasm. Thinking positively - of opportunities, not obstacles, and about creative solutions, not problems - has a great deal to do with why so many young women achieve individualistic excellence under Jamye's direction. She is the quintessential 'style arbitrator' and I heartily recommend her with complete confidence."
Jessica Lynch, Miss New York 2003:
"Never have I worn a swimsuit that was more comfortable, fit better, or made me feel as beautiful as Jamye’s suit. Having the ability to pick the color and style really helped me choose something that was appropriate and worked best for my figure. I enthusiastically recommend her to all my friends and anyone else who wants to be competitive in pageants. "Thank you Jamye, for giving me the confidence to strut my stuff on stage!'"
Nancy Redd, Miss Virginia 2003:
"Jamye's swimsuits are amazing! Winning swimsuit at Miss America was a fantasy-like goal for me, and the classy coverage, unique decorations, vibrant color, and flattering cut of my suit gave me the confidence I needed to achieve my dream!"
George Pinckney - Miss USA state level judge:
"Before many states knew of Jamye Shaw, she was producing quality swimsuits and strengthening young ladies in national pageants. I still laugh today when I hear people say, 'I have a new suit by a designer named Jamye Shaw.' If they only knew that Jamye is the reason that so many of the southern contestants stood out in swimwear for years...they too would have been using her long ago. Jamye has always been a class act. I am honored to say that all of her work equates to quality, and she gets even better with time."
Dana Reason, Miss North Carolina 2003:
"Jamye Shaw is a very talented designer. She uses high quality materials, takes great pride in her work, and each suit is carefully constructed. 'Thank you, Jamye for playing such an instrumental role in me winning a preliminary swimsuit award and capturing the Miss North Carolina title.'"
Tiffany Haas, Miss Ohio 2002:
"In preparing for one of the most important competitions of my life, the 2002 Miss America Pageant, I wanted a swimsuit that would look great and make me feel confident! The suit I chose was by Jamye Shaw. It was a unique design, well constructed, and very flattering to my figure. I’ve never felt or looked so good in a swimsuit. Jamye’s suits fit like a dream and are made to flatter."
Laura Lawless, Miss Arizona 2002:
"Years of working towards the Miss America competition have taught me that looking good in a swimsuit has less to do with physique than with your overall confidence. That’s why I trusted Jamye Shaw for my competition swimsuit. Jamye’s designs are so expertly crafted to showcase your best features that you can’t help but look – and feel – your best!!"
Ashley House, Miss North Carolina 2001:
"Jamye is one of the best designers in the world! Her unique design, quality of fabric, and attention to detail gave me the edge I needed in competition to win the swimsuit award and the title of Miss North Carolina 2001. "
Lorna McNeill, Miss North Carolina 2001:
"I turned to Jamye Shaw’s design for my competition swimsuit in the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Pageant 2000. I won the swimsuit competition. Her eye of perfection and vision of creativity helped propel me to the crown."
Kelli Bradshaw, Miss North Carolina 1998:
"Jamye’s eye for the girl and the stage together as one is a quality that I feel was very instrumental in carrying me all the way to Atlantic City, where I not only won a preliminary swimsuit award, but I was also named as first runner-up! 'Jamye, thank you for all of your guidance!'"
Nancy Glisson Lucy, Miss Virginia 1993:
"Jamye was the utmost professional when it came to creating and designing for me to compete in the Miss America competition. She was a pleasure to work with and she appreciates the time and energy that it takes to compete on a national level. I extend my best wishes to her new endeavor as well as thank her for such fond memories. (Fourth runner-up to Miss America.)"
