My reenactment involves light hiking so I was afraid to get a pretty white blouse that would show every speck of dirt. I really liked the pinstriped blouse for its crisp appearance and slight formality compared to a colored blouse. I found it ran a little smaller than I expected, possibly because it is shaped more than less tailored blouses. The next size up was perfect. I love the sleeves and the beautifully gathered back yoke. It looks fantastic with the black walking skirt, and goes beautifully with my various silver vintage belt buckles on black cloth belts. I originally chose it because it reminded me of a Victorian-look pinstriped blouse with front ruffles and puffed sleeves that I already owned, but the front ruffles had serger-stitched edges - which just looked wrong. This blouse looks perfect - every bit as good as I hoped for!

Nice shirt, but the material and construction were not up to the same quality of the Margery blouse. This fabric of this shirt is very thin.

Purchased for The Dickens Faire. It's as pictured and the material is nice. What's more, I am a buxom woman, and no matter if I measure myself, blouses fit tight somewhere. Not this one! Shoulders line up and it's not tight across the chest. Thank you!

Purchased as part of a costume to play the role of a schoolmarm at the historical society. The cloth was soft and substantial. Very much like a shirt I would buy for everyday wear. I appreciated that it was long enough to tuck into my skirt without pulling out. Will definitely buy more from Historical Emporium!

I ordered the blouse for an event with a vintage style show. Very happy with the fit and quality. I'll use it many times in the future at a Victorian Museum.

This blouse goes perfectly with my black Ladies Edwardian Suit. So excited. Thank you.

It fits beautifully. I can't wait to wear it.

I do like very much this blouse, except, the sleeve length, I have a M and a L size. I compared the blouses, found the sleeve lengths are the same. I bought the L for two reasons, the sleeve length and the fullness of the body. The fullness of the body is good in the L size. but the length of the sleeve, I needed a 1/2 inches or a bit longer. They fabric is great, and the design goes with several of my costumes. I just thought you would like to know.

I purchased this pinstripe blouse and the matching skirt for an upcoming event in my hometown. The event requires us to have on traditional looking 1850's clothing. This outfit is fashioned perfectly for the time period, very well made and fit true to size. I am so impressed and felt the price was great for the quality I received.

Purchased this for my wife and she is very happy with it for her 1870's impression. Shipping was amazingly fast, ordered on Friday and it arrived on that Sunday. We will be buying from Historical Emporium again.

Beautiful Blouse! Pay attention to fit. I had to return this blouse and order the next size up, which I did because once it arrived and I saw it in person, I had to have it! Very well made and just a gorgeous design. Extremely flattering. I ordered a size L using the bust measurement in the fit chart and the blouse did fit, but the neck was uncomfortably snug and the sleeves a tad short. The next size up, XL, gave me the length in the sleeves I needed (I will be working a box office while wearing it) and more comfort in the neck. There is more room in the bust area, but as I am tucking it into my skirt it will tailor visually. So by all means buy this blouse, but take these comments into mind if you are lengthy in the limbs to avoid paying return shipping.

Sizing chart was different on this one and the one I ordered was too small so I returned it.

beautiful fit, great stitching!

Prefect , prefect, prefect Quality excellent, fit per chart. My new favorite shirt.

love the fabric and the style. the sleeve is itsy bit too puffy, almost theatrical....otherwise, very classy garment

Sizing of this blouse is right on. Fits beautifully. Fabric is great quality and workmanship is first class.

Love it.

What can I say except that I love this blouse. The fit is very true to size. Thank you for having a fine selection for clients to browse!

Love this blouse. It fits nice and sleeves as well!

The print is perfect for my Victorian outfit for my daughter's Victorian themed wedding next year. The Louisa blouse washes well, and I hung it to dry, smoothing out any slight wrinkles. The sizing is a bit smaller, so I ordered the next size up, as the description said. The blouse fits well. Thanks.

True to size well made and a good value. Shipping was super fast and I know from past purchases that returns and exchanges have been very easy. Every year I dress in period clothing for a festival and every year I find something new to wear here.
