Dickens Fairs around the country have begun their celebration of the acclaimed novelist Charles Dickens.

If you’ve never attended one before you are in for a wondrous adventure! Vendors, Musicians, and Entertainers all dressed in Victorian era clothing and filled with the characters from Dickens’ Christmas stories.

You can enjoy all the festivities in your everyday clothes or join the experience and dress the part!

Need help with costume ideas? Take a look at our gallery below of some of our customers who’ve gone before or take a look at the outfit ideas we’ve put together.

We’ve taken images of Charles Dickens characters and offered our suggestion on how to achieve that look. Each blog will have a new outfit to consider.
