So glad I discovered you!
The skirt was a mile too long (I'm 5'2 1/2") and had to be shortened, but I'm looking forward to wearing it for my son's "Victorian" wedding reception next month. It is absolutely gorgeous! And my friend who shortened it for me says it's one of the best made items she's seen in a long time! Thanks.

The Edwardian dress suit looks very nice and fitted well. The dress is a bit long I'm 5'8 and I wore several layers underneath and still had an inch dragging on ground,but as a lady I just lifted the skirt and was on my way. Had many compliments on the color and style at the late 1800's Christmas Event at our local historic village. The price was worth the outfit purchased. Thank you!!!!!!

I am a docent in an historical home every Christmas season. Usually decked out in hoops, petticoats and a fabulous dress from the 1860s, I chose to do something easier this year so I could dress myself, be more comfortable, and not knock the ornaments off the tree. Going Edwardian, some 30 years later, was the answer. When this suit arrived, I was delighted to see the quality of the material and sewing. This is not a costume; this is a handcrafted piece. All it needed was hemming. With a black belt, hat, and the proper blouse and jewelry, this is a stunning outfit.

Had a “Going Back In the Days” at church and I received lots of compliments on my outfit. I’m glad I chose the outfit of this era.

Historical Emporium customer service and quality far exceed my expectation! Quality merchandise that always gets compliments whenever I or my husband wear one of our outfits from Historical Emporium. Always prompt delivery. My last ordered I placed on Thursday evening and received the following Monday and I didn’t pay for expedited delivery!!!! I returned 1 items due to sizing, wanting it replaced with a different size. I asked for the wrong size and their customer service called to verify I was ordering the right size. Great catch on their end! 5 Stars all the way across!

I am BEYOND pleased with my outfit. I am a docent at a Victorian house museum and this outfit is period accurate and perfect for my living history tours. The quality is much better than I expected and I would go as far as to say that it would hold up to daily wear if necessary. Thank you so much!

Very pleased with the outfit. Material used was above what I expected. Well made. Fits great. I liked the waist adjustment area to take in or let out as my weight fluctuates. I recommended your company to a friend. Plan on future purchases as needed.

I had a last minute addition to my cast for a theatrical production, This was a larger woman who is difficult to fit. In desperation I turned to your website and found this PERFECT outfit. I purchased the blouse featured in the photo of this costume, along with the belt. I called customer service to verify it was available and shipping time. It came faster than I had hoped, and fit perfect! I did not have to make any fitting adjustments. Both the director and the actress loved it.

Great outfit, fabric quality not the best.
Lovely fabric. Nicely made. Wish you could buy two different sizes for top and bottom. Top fit, skirt was way too large since I needed XL for the top. :(

I was a volunteer at a historic reenactment event and needed an outfit I could put together without a lot of time and effort, so I bought this suit. As others have noted, it has an adjustable waist, which in my opinion is one of its nicest features. The jacket has a generous cut, which was great for me, since I have wide shoulders. I didn't have a black belt so I sewed on a black frog closure at the bottom of the jacket which really complimented it. Even though it's cotton it doesn't wrinkle too much, and it's pretty comfortable. Added a button up white long sleeve blouse with a brooch at the collar and presto-- edwardian outfit.
