I recently purchased the Rebecca Regency Dress to wear as a day dress for the upcoming Jane Austen Festival in September, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! The dress is made from high-quality material and is completely lined, which adds to its overall comfort and durability. While it may not be historically accurate due to the presence of a zipper, the design features drawstrings at both the neckline and waist, giving it a charming Regency-inspired look. As a petite person (standing at 5'), I ordered a size small. The fit is quite nice, although I did need to have the dress shortened by about a foot, which is something to consider for others who are similarly petite. For the price, I am very satisfied with the Rebecca Regency Dress. It's perfect for the festival, and I appreciate the quality and style it offers. I would definitely order again from Historical Emporium and recommend this dress to anyone looking for a lovely Regency-inspired outfit!

I play for Regency dancers and am asked to appear in period costume for balls. This dress is beautifully made, with attention to detail, and the sizing was accurate. The fabric is of good quality. There is plenty of material at the bottom of the dress to allow for various hemming options. I would advise keeping the leftover fabric for possible future use. It's a machined hem so hemming can be done by machine rather than by hand. I am happy with the zipped back closing as it is easier to change in and out of (and with these dresses you often need help), but some people might prefer buttons, in keeping with the period. You can always cover up the zip with a shawl. The sleeves are generous, so easy to play in. Bodice is generous, with ties to get an exact fit. A thoughtfully made dress.

I bought this to wear at Ragtime music festivals. The fabric is lovely. It is very well made. I am 5'7' tall, band size 39, and I ordered a Large. This fits but is a little long. I will have to wear it with 2" heels. At first my husband and I thought it was a bizarre fit on top, but then I figured out what the ties were for and got it adjusted to fit me. Clever. It is lovely.

I needed it for a reenactment. It was very well-made, a good fit, and I received it quickly. Would definitely order from here again.

Will be offering these to my female customers during my General Store impression.

no special occasion, just love the era they represent.

Bought them for my wife and they compliment her southern bell dress perfectly.

This bonnet is perfect for a Regency outfit...even looks like an antique!

I really LOVE the realistic hat of old! It is much better in fit & feel than the wimpy hats that you originally showed for 'Dickens Christmas' I have collected costumes for years (some were grandma's) & we all know it's the accessories that make the outfit, this is it! Thanks! Joy from Salem, Or

A little disappointed that it wasn't a historical emporium item, instead it was made by an other company however it's a beautiful dress, fully line and made nicely. If you're short it will need to be hemmed it's about 6 inches to long for me

I've made several purchases from Historical Emporium and every item has been of excellent quality. Before ordering the Rebecca Regency dress, I reached out to customer service about sizing. I typically wear a medium, but I was in between sizes for the sleeve circumference. The representative advised me to order a size up, noting that the dress is highly customizable with drawstrings on the bodice. That was great advice!

I'm rather an old soul and enjoy wearing dresses and skirts, particularly historically inspired ones, so I was delighted to find this dress. It arrived quickly and the quality is what I have come to expect from this company. The blue flowers are charming and vibrant, the lining a welcome addition to a lovely garment. My petite frame ensures that it will need to be altered, but I'm not bothered in least. I also have this dress in purple and I can only hope that in the future, more colors/patterns may come available. Thank you!
