We did all the ordering online, so we did not speak with anyone, but all the items were true to the sizes as listed. I was dubious about ordering a medium shirt, but I followed the listed measurement recommendations ! And even though the shirt was a bit loose where I thought it would be, I was surprised that it fit snugly enough in other places that had I ordered smaller, I would've been disappointed. So thanks you for the true to size products!! We placed several orders over a couple of days and each one came much more quickly than we would've expected, which is a lovely surprise! We can't thank you enough for that promptness! It is rare to have that sort of service these days, so when you find it, you are really grateful! All orders were correct in size and product and one blouse even came with its own hanger which was a nice touch! Thank you again!

I was very happy with my experience in purchasing my product. My only hiccup was that on the coat i purchased, my size was sold out. I contacted customer services and nothing could be done, so I had to purchase a larger size and had to get it altered. Other than that I was very satisfied with the excellent service provided, the delivery of items, and the quality of the items purchased. I thought pricing could be a little better, but you can't win them all. lol I will definitely purchases from Historical Emporium again and recommend to friends. Thank you for the great work.

a lot to choose from, a lot to ponder and narrow down before you make a choice, many directions to go in, many "personalities" to be. Even within a particular dress up event, you can go in several directions and they all seem to be within your choices

Called Historical Emporium with multiple product questions and got help and excellent information that resulted in my first order with the company. Modified our intended order based on info and guidance from the knowledgeable and patient H.E. representative. Could not be happier with the items received. Sizing was properly described online and everything fits; the quality of the materials and workmanship is excellent. We are planning to order from Historical Emporium again in the future.

Victorian boots
Bought a pair of Victorian lace up boots for a week long theatrical production. Thought I should wear them a time or two before the production. Wore them to work today and got a lot of great comments! They were very comfortable too! Great pair of boots!

1873 COLT REPLICA
LUV IT!!! Perfect for my purpose. I just became interested in the art of, " GUN TWRILLING " Purchased 1st gun, liked the feel & size, then purchased 2nd gun 5 days later. These guns are close to the real thing as far as weight and balance. I prefer to use REPLICAS to practice with, as opposed to the REAL McCOY! The function and moving parts are close enough for EXHIBITION & DISPLAY. LOTS OF FUN!!

Just what I needed
As usual, Historical Emporium had exactly what I needed for one of my cosplay outfits. This time it was these spats for the blue version of the 6th Doctor Who. Thank you once again!

Great skirt, poor sizing chart
I ordered this skirt fir a costume, and to use for future costumes/events. The quality of the skirt is great, though the design is a little weird to figure out how it works at first. However it really only takes a few moments to get it. I got plenty of compliments on it, and it even lent to me winning a costume contest. However, I had issues with the sizing chart. I typically wear a 20 in bottoms in standard store sizing. According to the chart, I needed a 28. Now, there was another reviewer who mentioned the same statistics, and said that the 28 was about a size and a half too big, so I ordered a 26 hoping that would fit. It does not. With how it fits, I probably should have gotten a 22. Had I not been wearing a corset with my costume that held the skirt up, I wouldn't have been able to wear it. I'm going to have to get it taken in to wear it in the future.

high quality, great value
I'm a man, years ago for Galveston's Dickens on the Strand, my late wife got one of these in brown, and I got a merchant outfit - the frock coat, vest, top hat, etc. This year, a new lady friend of mine and I decided to be a little wacky for the Houston Museum of Natural Science Halloween party. My late wife's outfit was a pinch too tight, so I got this for me. I was an 1880's lady sheriff, handcuffs, etc, I tell everyone how well made, authentic and comfortable the clothes are and hope to get more friends to buy from you as we all go to Dickens this year. People are used to stuff from Party City or those temporary Halloween stores and are really impressed with high class stuff and are of an age that we can spend a little more on fun. (but I'm done with any gender bender til next Halloween)

Lovely Quality
This shirt is very well made and the fabric is medium weight and lovely quality. It's pretty roomy-a side down is maybe even possible, but it's very comfortable.

Wonderful Coat
I LOVE this coat. I purchased the coat back in the middle of September and have delayed the review until the weather was cool enough to give it a good wearing. I already own the Inverness cape in black in 100% wool and have given it a wonderful review. At the time, I mused that it would be nice if it were offered in other colors--even perhaps a nice tweed. So, when Historical Emporium unveiled their additions to their Inverness line, I was delighted. At the time of order, I felt a little trepidation. I was worried that this version was not 100% wool. I am delighted to report that my fears were baseless. The fabric has a very nice feel, similar to a soft, heavy cotton. The coat is a good weight and ideal for cool weather and roomy enough to layer underneath for cold weather. It is not as warm as the 100% wool version, but that's easily worked around. I have received several compliments on it. (I wear my Historical Emporium clothing as part of my everyday wardrobe). I am 6'1" and about 200lbs; the M/L fits me very well with room for a bulky sweater or thick sports-coat/frock-coat underneath. I love this coat and would highly recommend it. Its also a wonderful value.

Just stunning!
I am so very pleased with this purchase. The skirt is beautiful in every way. Very well constructed with high quality, durable frabric that drapes and runches beautifully. The zipper is durable and expertly sewn in. The eyelets are smooth and perfect. Wrinkles steam out quickly and easily while the fabric dries instantly. I love that it can be worn literally 6 different lengths (though most of us will likely only use 3) and is so highly versatile. I bought this to be my base unit skirt for any costume I wish from vampire, witch, to gypsy, pirate, to Dickens Faire and Lady in Mourning and on and on. It Is Perfect! Note: The skirt runches in three different sections on each side of the skirt. It took me a while to find the ribbon that runches the middle section. They are on the INSIDE of the skirt. When you pull the ribbons inside the skirt both the top and middle sections runch up. If you are apple shaped like me, do NOT go buy the size chart. This skirt is very high waisted without any elastic or stretchablily. I went by the waist measurement and ended up with a skirt 3 sizes too big. I ordered one size larger than I normally wear and it fits perfectly. If you are looking for that perfect skirt to build you garb and costume wardrobe upon, you won't go wrong with the Margurite.

Perfect Fit
For only needing this as a costume it kept me warm while running around. I went with a size larger than recommended and it fits me perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a Dr. Horrible cosplay or even a mad scientist costume.
