Historically accurate
Size small (5 foot 4, 120 lbs), it's 100% cotton so I'm glad it's initial fit is a bit too big since it will most likely shrink even in cold water. Looks just like the pictured dress. Good quality material. The only reason I have it at 4 stars is the fact that it's a bit short-- but it looks that way in the picture too, so it's not misleading! I think it's very historically accurate, good for reeanactors or Anne Shirley wannabes "Marilla! The puffs!" ;)

I was disappointed
... in all the shoestring closure. I did not realize this was how I was expected to put the costume. A real zipper would be more feadible I was unable to wear the costume to my event

Fine costume
Great quality... I would have spent half this much on an el-cheapo tacky costume but I found Historical Emporium. I'm glad I did. Sure I paid more but I got a quality dress in style, detail and workmanship. Seems like they should have made it to show a little more up top skin though...this is extremely conservative in that regard. I'm big up top and I look flat. LOL

Beautifully made dress!
I was searching online for dresses that would resemble styles from this time period, not expecting I'd find one that is more like a recreation AND at a price I could afford. I didn't buy this to use as a costume (although I could of course do so) but simply as a dress for any occasion I'd want to dress up since it's just my personal style. I contacted customer service to ask for some more detailed measurements of the dress, and they responded very quickly with all the information I needed. Since my measurements are currently a bit between two of the sizes I went with the larger and figured I can have alterations made it necessary. Surprisingly, I don't think I'll need to. Even more surprisingly, the torso and the sleeve length of the dress are more than adequate for me - and I'm 6 feet tall! Overall, this dress appears to be well made, it has lovely detail to it, and the cotton fabric has a really nice thickness and softness. I already have my eye on some of the blouses and I've told a friend about the website because it's just such a cool find.

Loved this dress,, of good quality and great workmanship for a reasonable price. I put together a costume as a Presbyterian Church Lady for our Florida town's rededication of its Presbyterian Church founded in 1895 (and still standing.) I had only to add a dickey with a standup collar, add a cameo, black hat with egret feathers and granny boots for an authentic look. The dress fabric is a dull black sturdy cotton with decorative pleats and embroidery down the front. Very authentic -

Beautifully crafted dress with attention to detail. Of special note-- I am usually a medium in women's clothes. Due to my largest part... I am an extra large in this dress. Pay attention to the size chart when ordering. Once in the correct size according to the size chart--- the dress is fully and separately adjustable in the bust, waist, and hips with the satin corset lace in the back. May fit a variety of body types "just right".

I bought this dress for a part of my Halloween costume this year and LOVED it! Very pretty, very well-constructed and I felt well worth the money I spent. I actually found the same dress in another store for a much higher price after I had already purchased it. I received so many compliments. It was, however, sized I thought about one to two sizes small, but the corset works well so it was all A-OK. The shipping speed was also lightning fast! Great customer service!

lovely but large!
i’m so pleased with the quality of this dress! the fabric is so nice and thick. also… it has pockets! that was a lovely surprise. my package arrived exactly when they said it would. overall i’m very pleased. my only gripe - it is huuuuge. i ordered a Medium as i’m 5’7” and about 140lbs and fit M for basically everything. this dress fits more like a Large! one review noted it being big and i wish i had taken this into account and bought a small. i had a friend alter it for me.

I have been buying clothes from Historical Emporium for a few years now, because of the high quality of workmanship!! Although I'm not always spot on with sizing, the fabrics used, cloth covered buttons and the attention to detail never disappoint. This dress is very comfortable to wear and looks great!!! For me, living in a hot climate, I would have maybe liked this dress to have a collar of some sort to protect my neck from the sun as I ride in my sulky!! Historical Emporium are a delight to order through with deliveries quite fast considering I live half way around the world from them!!!!!!! Thanks

Well-made and comfortable
I was not expecting this dress to be quite so beautiful as it is. The fabric hangs so perfectly and blows just great in the breeze, while still being very durable. One of the button holes needed reinforcing, since it kept coming open, but otherwise this dress is far better than I expected in all ways. And that is not to say I had low expectations, I just thought for the price, it was not going to be QUITE this nice.

I had to buy a large when I usually wear medium. However, with alterations at the shoulder seams and shortening the sleeves, the dress fit me fine. The dress came down to my ankles since I am short. I wore it for the function for which I needed the dress - 1840s time period and receved several compliments both on the style and fit.

This is a Floral PRINT
This says it is royal blue, but it is actually a floral print design. Other than that it is a nice outfit. It doesn't match the shiny vest I bought my husband to wear. I am not sure if I got the wrong dress or if this is supposed to be floral print. I was thinking it was blue satin but it is not.

The fabric has a really nice feel to it, is a good weight, & the structure of the dress is very detailed & finished off very well. The color & print is beautiful & there is a lot of fabric in the skirt! I will wear it with a hoop slip underneath! Can't wait to wear it for our upcoming party!

I love this dress. It's perfect for the Victorian events I want to wear it to. It's in 2 pieces; so as I lose weight I can simply fold and sew the waist line and it's hidden under the top. I can also add a few chains and swap out my hat, shoes and bag and I have a Victorian Steampunk outfit. It's absolutely perfect for all the events I have planned for the next year.

The dress fits like a glove
I had my eye on this dress for sometime as I attend the Dickens Fair in San Francisco every year. Being in between sizes in the hips I was hesitant to get a size medium for fear of it being too tight or for that matter a large size and it would be too big. The representatives assured me that the larger size would work, and taking into consideration the hoop skit to be worn underneath they were right and as a result , the entire dress fit like a glove. The material is gorgeous and everything from the buttons, the sleeves, the lace and pleats below are extremely well made. Tis true as one other reviewer wrote that if the skirt portion is too long, then simple roll up the waist a bit and voilà! It takes some practice to get used to walking in a hoop skirt but overall the effect is stunning and one feels as if they have gone back in time.

Pretty but sizing off
I ordered this suit for a murder mystery dinner fundraiser that was set in Old West days. I won the best dressed award! It is a pretty suit. However, the sizing is really off so bear that in mind when ordering. I had read another review that the skirts run small so I ordered a size larger than I normally wear so the skirt would fit (it did) but then the top was way too big! So, skirt ran small, top ran way big. It would be nice if you could order the pieces indidually so that both would fit correctly.

Very nice material and beautiful pattern. I'm 5'4" and 148 lbs and it fit beautifully.

Well even though I measured it is too big, I had hoped to move the buttons but a sewing friend says no. I had to leave town the day after recieivng it so haven't returned it yet since the event it is needed for isn't till August should be okay only need the next size down. Having said that the dress is well made, all you tall people don't worry I am 5' 7" and it is way too long but since it has an elastic waist can pull it up so no problem. Very gererous in the bust which is where my problem is that I need another smaller size. Alsa since haven't been able to actually wear it can't say more

My husband particpates in an Annual Gentlemen's Motorcycle ride and I wanted an outfit that would match his look. This suit is beautifully made. Since we live in Colorado and have lot's of red dirt and dust, I expect the white ruffles will quickly get dirty and will probably add some black ruffles to the bottom hem. I have to admit I only own one white tank top and that is it for that color here! Did I say my husband loves me in this??

high quality, great value
I'm a man, years ago for Galveston's Dickens on the Strand, my late wife got one of these in brown, and I got a merchant outfit - the frock coat, vest, top hat, etc. This year, a new lady friend of mine and I decided to be a little wacky for the Houston Museum of Natural Science Halloween party. My late wife's outfit was a pinch too tight, so I got this for me. I was an 1880's lady sheriff, handcuffs, etc, I tell everyone how well made, authentic and comfortable the clothes are and hope to get more friends to buy from you as we all go to Dickens this year. People are used to stuff from Party City or those temporary Halloween stores and are really impressed with high class stuff and are of an age that we can spend a little more on fun. (but I'm done with any gender bender til next Halloween)

The dress feels natural
I do not and have not worn a dress in many, many years, but I really enjoyed putting this dress on along with the Hoop Underskirt. I am a short person and both the Skirt and the Hoop Underskirt will need to have some adjustment done to the length but otherwise, I am very happy with them. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear but it may be I actually do wear the size I ordered. I am excited to actually put it on for the Christmas parade this weekend. Thank you very much for having the Vintage Clothing available for purchase. I will continue to shop and buy as the need arises.

The length is very long and it took me a long time to shorten the very full skirt I am 5' 6" and needed to shorten the dress 4". Overall it is a beautiful dress and the price is affordable for folks like me who volunteer at a Heritage Village

Just what I was waiting for!
Thank for alerting me that this dress was again available. I am shor-waisted so expected the bodice would be long for me but was willing to try it knowing I could return it if it fit poorly. So, yes, it is a bit long but still looks fine. I also ordered the Walking Skirt in the Purple color & it looks great worn over the dress. Looks love lovely with the matching Bonnet as well.

Great Dress for the price
It may seem a little unusual to write a positive review for an item we returned, but the garment itself was not the issue. My wife is short-waisted and just under 5'4", so the way it fit was such that we could not effectively alter it. This is in no way a judgment of the dress itself. The material is excellent quality, very comfortable, and looks great. The finish of the garment was outstanding, with almost no loose hanging threads, which indicates time taken to do it right and a seamstress with some real experience. Make no mistake, if the fit had been a little closer, we would have paid a bit extra to her seamstress to perform the final fitting simply because the dress was well worth a little extra expenditure. But the height of the dress and the waist issue were just a little more than we wanted to take on. Otherwise, a superb garment nd one that will serve well. Definitely worth 5 stars. I have made numerous purchases from H-E, and have always been very pleased with the products. Occasionally, sizing may be a little off, but my experience with H-E has been no different than with any other online or brick-and-mortar merchant. Different manufacturers always have a little different way they size clothing. H-E is generally always spot on with its sizing, so no complaints at all. Thanks for the great job you guys do!
