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!

vest was just as pictured on the web site. The fit was good. The package sooner than expected. Very satisfied customer

I have made multiple purchases in the past 6 weeks, every single interaction has been great. I've had to send back a couple items due to not fitting properly. I received my refund the same day item was returned. I had to make a phone cal in regards to an order, customer serve rep was a pleasure to deal with. In this day and age customer service as good as historical emporium is few and far between. Thank you and keep up the great work !!!!

Everything we ordered came in excellent time - even the couple items that needed a little more time, but we were forewarned. Even these came earlier than expected. Service was great, the clothes looked right and fit well. We are very, very pleased. I adapted Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" as a Christmas Eve sermon at my church and it went over extremely well. Everyone loved the period costume. Thank you so much for helping make it a special evening!

The top hat was exactly like the one I had as a kid in my grand parents house!!!

I have purchased other items in the past & always been happy with their service
