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.

Their sizing is different from other sutlers, as they run bigger...so beware.

I ordered a belt and holster by mistake. It came quickly, so I contacted customer service and the told me how to return item.

Nice selection of garments, nice quality fabric, and I received the items quickly!
