Always a positive experience. Items are as described and arrive quickly and well packaged. I am a museum curator and often wear period clothing and costumes. This is my favorite online shop by far!

If you're like me I would deal with Historical Emporium for your Historical needs

Over the years, I have purchased four blouses and several skirts for my Victorian time period. I have always been very pleased with the quality and service. I have found the skirts to run a little large in the waist, but there are extra buttons to make easy adjustments. Blouses are always my perfect fit. Various jewelry purchases always get compliments. There have been occasions when I chose Historical Emporium garments because they are shipped more rapidly than competitors. My husband has a full Victorian outfit from Historical Emporium that he is proud to wear, plus two different top hats. He carried the grey one in his car to put on whenever visiting our History Center!

Great items that fit relative to period sizing. Had to do some minor alterations due to height and sleeve lengths. I appreciated the prompt customer service response when i had questions.

suspenders had mildew or stains on leather. I promptly got another shipped to me but the first should have been inspected before sending out. Hopefully a lesson learned.

I have been buying clothing from historical Emporium for many years. Ladies and Gentlemen, Historical Emporium does not make costumes. These are real clothes, well cut, well made of high quality materials. They are a good investment for the reenactor or the person who wants to introduce the style into daily life like I have.
