I purchased this dress to wear with a shawl I made from a pattern in an 1870 issue of Peterson's Magazine. The two garments look fantastic together!

I purchase from Historical Emporium on a regular basis as I have not seen any equivalent clothing styles to suit my needs in the U.K. But that said if there were I would still make Historical Emporium my first and only choice.The deciding factors being for me are A) quality, B) wide variety of styles and choice C) speed of delivery and top quality customer service. This of course is only my opinion but I would have no hesitation or doubts recommending this 'site' to others.

Item arrived much too large. They were happy to send another after I took some measurements and the second one fits perfectly. I'm 6'9" and typically can't buy "off the rack" but this item fits very well and looks great. Thanks Noel!

I wasn't expecting such fast service. I don't order things very often. But getting merchandise within a week +/- beats the old way. Thanks to the Internet, streaks ahead of the postal service. It might be a bit of a lark, to do it the old way just to find out if it will still take 6-8 weeks to ship. Lots of young people can't believe that is used to take that long. All in all very convenient. Very fine store with excellent customer service.
