Was so pleased with the quality and fit of this dress. I am 5'2", 123lbs and ordered a small. A little long but wore a corded petticoat with it and it was fine. And it arrived very quickly! Thank you!

Western weekend

Very well made dress. Suitable for period costume or daily wear. Pockets were a delightful surprise! This is the second one of these I've purchased and will definitely be ordering in more colors.

The dress I ordered is beautiful. It is sewn well and fits perfectly. Thank you! I will definitely order from this company again.

Well-made dress,nice cotton material. Good long length almost to the floor and I am 5ft8ins!

Lovely! Nice fit. She loves it and looks wonderful!

The dress is beautiful, and it arrived really fast. Thank you for the great service!

This is a beautiful dress. I love the ombre look, especially. These "one-size fits most" dresses are great, because they really do fit many shapes and sizes, and they are adjustable if your weight goes up and down. Very pretty and comfortable, too.

A beautiful nice quality dress, lovely colour! The skirt is very full. Not a lot of room in the bodice, so it pays to pay attention to the size chart.

Absolutely what I was looking for a pioneer presentation.... Perfect for the non sewing person-me!

Beautiful, authentic dress. We will be using it in an event at our History Park Museum.

True to size-chart size. I'm trading a medium for a small. (Size 4) It has lot's of material over-all, and is plenty long for 5'7".

Well made. Love the pockets I am 5'1", 150 pound, chest 39", waist 37", hips 42. I ordered both a Large green and a Medium red (wine). The large was more comfortable in the chest, but I needed the length hemmed by about two inches and the sleeves shortened. The red was tighter in the chest but not uncomfortable, and the sleeves and length were perfect." Love the pockets which are hidden in a side seam. Fit my larger Pixel 9 phone perfectly. I ordered both a small and a medium classic cotton petticoat. They were the same length (they reached the floor so I had to tie the drawstrings high on my waist). There is a LOT of room in both (almost enough to fit another person in it) so I went with the small as I did not need the extra ruffles around the waist. I wore it with the slightly-to-large -for-me muslin bonnet and a gray apron from another site (I had already loaned out my muslin apron which would have also worked well),

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

This dress is so nice, fits perfect. Great for my costume for Helldorado in Tombstone!

This dress is for my granddaughter and I hope she likes it. The material is a little heavier than I expected which is a good thing, will update when my granddaughter tries it on.

This dress is precious. It is extremely wearable and comfortable. I love the buttons all the way down the front! The color is lovely.

I am thrilled with the quality of this dress. It is a perfect costume for "Miz Lottie" a sassy frontier woman. Great buy!

Very authentic. Like the real thing!! I am a book cover illustrator, and I often use costumes for the illustrations I do. This one worked out perfectly!

I have been looking at this dress for awhile. Had to get it. Wonderful color, quality and style. I'm sorry I waited so long.

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 really like this dress. It looks like a dress from the 1830's. Next month I'll be wearing it along with the Muslin Bonnet in front of the Alamo in San Antonio. I'm part of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, and we are doing a presentation to celebrate the independence of Texas from Mexico. The dress is made well and looks very authentic.

This dress fit perfectly right. I am a size 10-12. I am a guest speaker for women's groups and it was just right for late 1800's topic.

Very happy with the pioneer dress, the fit was perfect, except I had to take up the shoulders, thankyou and I know I am going to enjoy wearing it to our annual Blockhouse opening of the locks in Merrickville, Ontario, Canada!

I haven't tried it on but it looks great in person. Can't wait to wear it to a shoot.

This is a very pretty and well-made dress! The price is great! I intend to wear this all the time. I'll be back for another color! Thanks Historical Emporium!

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.

The dark color in the picture online does not show how very well designed and well sewn this is. Unlike costumes, this is made to last.

Love this dress. Excellent detailing. Stylish and very well made.

It's a real dress, not a costume, super detailled, top quality for the price.

I absolutely adore this dress! It is perfect for my Halloween costume. The quality construction and fit are impeccable. As a seamstress and costumer I highly recommend this dress.

This dress is well made. Very good quality. Runs a little big. I absolutely love that it has pockets!

Over all very pleases with this dress. It did loose a button the very first time I washed it, which was more than a little annoying. Other than that is is everything I had hoped for.

The dress fits my torso like a glove, but the sleeves are incredibly baggy and long. Will be getting them tailored, but other than that the dress is great. Great material and historically accurate.

Loved it! Quality workmanship!

LOVE this dress. Personally this is something that I will be able to wear all the time. The quality is excellent. This is not like a costume at all, but is a great dress. For me this fit true to what my size normally is. I originally sized up using the measurements but then needed to exchange for my usual size. Exchanging was quick and easy.

Excellent quality. Accurate sizing. Great value.

I purchased the print pioneer dress. It is so beautiful and I love the five button ribbon on the cuffs. I have received many compliments on this outfit.

Well made. True to size.

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 -

I was surprised with the quality of the details and the fabric was better than expected.

I ordered this dress for my daughter's role in a theater guild performance of The Secret Garden. It arrived fast and was exactly as described on the site! The dress was very well made and a perfect fit ( an amazing dress for a reasonable price)!

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!" ;)
