Whenever I buy from the Historical emporium, I am pleased with the speed of the delivery, and the quality of the wares. May this store never change, or if any, to merely improve upon perfection.

My husband and I have both bought a small handful of costuming clothing and accessories from y'all over the years. We have not been disappointed, at all!

I had to return a blouse that was too small. The website recommended ordering a replacement rather than doing a straight exchange, and returning the too-small blouse for a refund. This was suggested as the fastest way to get the right size blouse quickly, rather than encountering a possible processing delay with an exchange. This worked very nicely. I got my new blouse in a couple of days and my refund a day or so later. I had dreaded the hassle of an exchange, but this method worked very smoothly. Happily, the blouse was packing in a standard USPS flat box, on a hanger, folded neatly with two pins and covered with a plastic sleeve. The blouse was ready to try on, and easy to repack neatly when it didn't fit. I don't expect to need to return any future blouses I order now that I know how the sizing runs, but it was nice to learn that returns were nothing to be dreaded.

Great service and fast response. Real professionals. They make me smile.

Historical Emporium is one of my "go-to" sources for mid to late 19th century clothes and etceteras. I say 'one' because other sources provide additional options that are unavailable at HE. I like HE's offerings and quality, so I am by no means diminishing HE. Obviously, I'll be back.

Great products at a fair price. Outstanding speed in processing and delivery. I can't believe I had not heard of the company before now.
