Less than a week before her wedding, my daughter informed me that the colors would be black/white and green. A day or two after that, she sent me a photo of the tie she was going to be wearing. So I'm in a bit of a panic, and I think, "Hey, I get all kinds of cool stuff at Historical Emporium. I wonder if they can get this to me on time?" So I look up the emerald green vest that I wanted and call in to order it, and have it shipped as fast as possible TO UTAH (since I'd be leaving my home in Eureka, CA before it was even shipped). The support person said, "No problem, we can get it there via normal two-day." I worry and ask if I need to pay for overnight. They quote me the difference, and then say, "It'll get to Utah on Thursday, no problem. Overnight will only get it there one day earlier." So I trust them, and it gets there the day before I do! (Did I mention I drove there, and it took me three days?) The vest and matching tie are perfect. I also got an ivory hat band for my top hat. I supplemented it with my blue striped trousers... that I originally bought from the Emporium. Fantastic. Of course, my daughter looked better, because... well, she's my daughter. Lovely wedding!

Arrived much more quickly than I expected. They washed well. Excellent fabric. Waist is a smidge too big, but that can be remedied. Overall I am well pleased with my experience and with the product!

Very pleases with the number of options on the site and more than happy with the product I received. The quality was even better than I hoped for.

The fabric looks like it could have come from the 1800s. Both the blouse and skirt were beautifully made

Everything about dealing with historicalemporium.com was superb. My parents retired early and ran their own costume shop for 34 years. I was involved in the shop and can only say my parents would have been thrilled to have had access to a company like historicalemporium for some of their costume needs. I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with everything I purchased.

Great and fast shipping
