My only complaint is that the buttoning on the skirt I ordered is a bit weird and difficult (I have arthritis in my hands). I'm assuming it's historically correct, but that doesn't help! Otherwise I'm giddy with delight!

Goods were professionally packaged and sent. Website was easy to use. Unfortunately goods did not match expectation (I purchased a monocle and it didn't even fit my eye socket - and I'd certainly have a larger sized socket than your average person). Would use them again though for other supplies, and recommend to friends for their professional service.

I talked with a woman on the phone and she was great. The things I ordered looked like the website with only one minor surprise. I ordered a snood (those hair net things) anyway, I had expected and wanted it to be out of a flat cotton, or even acrylic, but not the shinny rayon. I just won't order another.

Fast shipping and beautiful vest, but wasn't impressed with a couple of tiny flaws in the fabric for the price, but they weren't big enough or obvious enough to be a huge deal. All in all, would definitely order again, and am very happy with purchase.

My two experiences with you guys were brilliant with the sole exception that you were out of the edwardian Club Collar shirt. I understand I was trying to get it just before Halloween, but it looks like this is a really common shirt so I thought you might have extra amounts ready. Not a biggy...

Ever since i first found your website I have wanted to order everything I could fit into. When i finally did order something, I felt as if I was transported to another time. It's hard to find victorian period clothing as is, and finding it at prices i can actually afford is something that will keep me coming back to your site time and time again! I show your site to everyone i know, and they seem just as impressed as I am. Keep up the great work!

I ordered the collars by size listed on your website and each and every one of them was too big and had to be altered. I like that your collars are fabric but the sizing needs improvement or I will continue to order the paper collars that I've used in the bast. As a professional theatrical costume designer I use a lot of collars when doing a historical piece and found yours to be a great idea but not a great excecution.
