Well made but wish the buttons were easier to button and that there was a petite size for shorter people. Home tour of historic properties in my neighborhood. Received lots of compliments.

I love this suit. I wore it on my tour of Biltmore in NC. The tour guide said my presence made the house happy.

This outfit is just as advertised. It is well made, true to size and arrived within days.

Absolutely love this outfit. Fits perfectly. I am seriously considering getting another color. Thanks so much.

My wife picked this out for a specific event. She loves it. The skirt has multiple buttons, so it adjusts to the wearer. It looks good on her, and we are excited to attend the next event in a good-looking kit.

I don't know how I missed the existence of this suit for so long. I will chock it up to not really wearing skirts and therefore paying more attention to the men's section. However, when I went looking for something to pair with my Gibson girl blouse, I did a serious double take, given that I'd bought a pattern for basically this exact outfit years ago, back when I had dilusions of learning to sew well. I'd even planned on using these exact colours! Needless to say, I had to have it. Enter my wacky build. According to my chest measurement, I'm a S. According to my waist measurement, I'm a L. L was out of stock, so Mum and I looked at each other and, after some debate, decided that since I frequently wear M jeans, it would be worth it to order the M. Fingers crossed, I placed the order and... ...PERFECT FIT! I about did a little dance when I tried it on, but there wasn't room in Mum's bathroom! And it's well made and the weight is lovely and the skirt twirls! This will undoubtedly become my 'most worn outfit with an actual skirt' in short order. I want to go to the park in it and just walk around looking amazing.

I ordered this suit to attend Historical Romance Retreat 2019 in September. It will be my suffragette outfit. The workmanship in this suit is beautiful. I love it.

This is a beautiful suit, well made. Sizing is always an issue with me so I have to be very careful in selecting a size. The chart was a big help. The skirt is long but can be adjusted to my height.

Very high quality. Adjustable waist. Arrive on hanger. Great value for quality. Wish blouse was reasonably priced. It was $60 so just went with my own white blouse. Same for hat. Still great

Was absolutely lovely in this outfit when we were engaged in a personal appearance a couple of weeks ago.

I recently ordered costumes to try on for a part I have in an Historical Drama later this year. I chose the Ladies Edwardian Suit together with a blouse in natural and the cameo on the black velvet ribbon. The costumes are very well made, they are a good price for the quality you get, and if you order by measuring they fit perfectly. All skirts are adjustable at the waist and are designed so they can be hemmed to your height. I was able to easily send back the costumes I did not choose easily and recommend this costume source.

Excellent quality. Compliments when I wear it. Comfortable to wear and elegant.

Well made suit. I work at a historic home, we give tours and this suit should hold up well for a long time.

This beautiful navy suit is extremely well made. Fabric is good weight and not only looks good, but will hold up. the buttons in the back and the way, the back is made, made it easy to move the buttons to take in the waist a little. Perfect. I'm very pleased with the look, and the quality.

This was purchased initially for a Titanic-themed evening, with future 1910s outings in the future. Anyone who saw it was incredibly impressed and asked where I bought the outfit! It looked very impressive and beautifully detailed. And the sizing was very very generous. The fabric has a nice weight and is well put together. My only gripe would be that it would be nice to mix and match sizes, as while the skirt was a touch large, the jacket was absolutely swimming on me and it will be a shame to have to alter it. All in all, if you're careful about the sizes, then I'd happily recommend it. And the processing and delivery was exceptionally fast.

This dress has a very good quality and the colour is great. It goes perfectly with the Darlington Blouse.

I Played Cathay Williams, first women to join the Buffalo Soldiers. The event was a community brunch. The material was cool and comfortable. The size was perfect.

Western reenactment, fit well, wife loves it

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.

Good quality, is as described and pictured. I love it!

Ordered this dress because I would not have had time to make it myself. Was very pleased with the quality & workmanship! 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.

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.

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. The length of the skirt will adjusted but is simply a matter of rolling up the waistband without need for any tailoring. This looks wonderful and will be fun to accessorize for our Old West parties and reenactments.

This outfit is the hit of our play. It is beautifully constructed. The material is high quality. It is just beautiful. Because it is all cotton, I would recommend ordering the next size larger if planning to wash and dry yourself.

I was invited to a party with an 'Old West" Theme. The site of the party was in a historic home with its own saloon. My dress was era perfect and a hit with all the guests. I loved the fit and quality of the dress. Found it to be very comfortable and flattering. Thanks for helping to me to 'fit' in and stand out!

Beautifully made. We were very impressed.

The outfit was great. It was easy to wear and I got a lot of comments when I wore it to our World War I commemoration.

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

Great quality and they got here to PA really quickly. My wife is pretty discerning when it comes to her costumes and she was really pleased. She is 5'1" and the two piece design worked well, no need for alterations.

I purchased this dress for historical re-enactment and to showcase the 1870 Peterson's Magazine Shawl I made from the pattern in the original magazine. The dress and shawl go together beautifully!

Wife loved it, fit well Western reenactment

The Lucille walking suit is a good value for the price. I was looking for a polonaise-style suit, and this is perfect!

I was impressed with the quality of the dress. I had a Wild West themed event to attend and this dress was perfect. I am sure I will make good use of it. I bought the white lace up boots to finish off the look.

I love this outfit! The materials and laces used are quality and the dress is well made. The outfit is perfect for the Dickens Christmas event in our town. I'll have a lot of fun wearing this for our bell choir event!

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??

Exactly as I had expected. Size fit perfect. Delivery on time. Easy ordering. Well-made.

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)

Love dress. Size ran big

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.

Overall it is indeed a lovely suit, well tailored, and rich quality. Unfortunately the problem I encountered was that I was sent the wrong fit. I had ordered a size regular fit and instead was sent a slim fit. On the website there no reference to the suit being a slim fit, nor did I order such. When I called to discuss the matter I was told this was what the “manufacturer” sent. I since have returned the suit in hopes that I may get the appropriate sizing, cause I truly look forward to being able to own and wear the suit.

Sizing is accurate and it fits my husband wonderfully. He's fully obsessed. This is his first suit EVER.

I got this suit as an early Father’s Day gift from my wife. It looks great and fits like a glove. I’ve been told that I’m the smartest dressed man at church. I would recommend Historical Emporium to anyone who wants to look like they stepped out of a fashion magazine from days gone by.

An ensemble actor costume. Easy upgrade, change out poly lace, interesting buttons for cf vertical visual lengthening. Add period accurate trim. Didn't love the sleeve flounce this go round, easily changed. Skirt pattern is good for a community college needs.

Love this walking suit. Fits well and I can't wait to wear it.

I give local tours of our historic 1825 cemetery and this outfit adds lots of atmosphere.

This suit is perfect - fabric is light weight and comfortable. The gray lace is stunning.

Representing the mother of a late 1800's-1900's western writer at Colorado Springs CO Legends & Lore Cemetery Crawl. I an in my early 80's, as was she, so big skirts and flowers are too frivolous. My Edwardian suit represented my character perfectly. I seldom find a yellow that I can wear, but the deep honey was flattering. Lots of "Ohs" and "Lovelys" from the audience. Definitely represented the changing time periods splendidly!

This is a beautiful suit. The faux suede material allows both the jacket and skirt to drape nicely on the body. The weight of the fabric makes it ideal for spring or fall wear. I wore this suit for guiding a walking tour during a recent festival and I was impressed not only in how comfortable it was, but with how great it looked. I felt wonderful wearing it. Sizing was as described - I had no fit issues. I highly recommend this suit!

I love these are my favorite type of clothes thanks for being their.

I was looking for something that could pass for either a costume piece or an everyday suit. This one nicely fits the bill. Well constructed and the material feels good against the skin. Plus, it came in Long sizes. I recommend.

I got the smallest size on the website unaware of the brand, having looked them up realizing they had a short option I probably would have opted for if available on this site. The vest fit me very well and the jacket width wise was also nice with the sleeves being about the correct length but the tail of the jacket being very long. The pants were also quite long and if I attempted to walk in them without rolling them in I would step on them as I walked. Aside from needing some work to fit me personally it is a very nice suit for the price. I do regret not ordering a tie to match.

I wore it for my first annual swing dance. Loved the quality

1890 House Museum

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. A+

I love this suit and the color it's in. It is a wonderful addition to my costumes.

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.

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.

This classic tuxedo with tails was excellent. The fit was as advertised, and it even includes matching pants and a carrying case. How can they make this for such a reasonable cost?

Originally got the 40 R , I usually wear an AMERICAN 40 R suit . The 40 R tuxedo jacket might have worked but the pants were a bit tight. Went with the 42 regular and both fits were very good. The quality of the suit was very good, as most other reviews stated. I am very pleased with the tuxedo, especially for the price. Exchange of suits no problem

This suit is just what we needed. It fits perfectly!

The white tie and tails garment which I purchase was an excellent fit and styled to detail. The quality of the garment I found exceptional. The value is top notch. Thank you so much. Kind Regards,Dr. William E. Altman

This Tux is excellent quality. It retails at other places for over $350 making this and extremely good deal. It is also sized as described and is very comfortable to wear. This outfit will be getting a lot of use.

I was very disappointed with the tuxedo coat as one of the buttons on one side had almost completely dropped off and two others below it were very loose. I had to take it to a local tailors for repair.

Fantastic from beginning to end. Suit is a perfect fit and good quality. Was well packed and no damage in transit. Would buy from again. Recommended to all.

The price does not reflect the quality of the tuxedo. It looks much more expensive. The fit was perfect. It was wonderful to know I will be able to return to the website to find what I may need for my husband for future events. The choices were tremendous and I was amazed how quickly I received the order. I will definitely recommend this site to others. Thank you!

I Love the work that you did on the Tuxedo. It fits Like a glove and all I have heard is good things about it. Thank You!

This is such a great tux at a steal of a price. It will look great at my wedding and at any concert I conduct or perform in. The blue paisley pattern on the inside of the jacket is a darker blue than pictured, which to me is a plus.

My Grandson was overjoyed and commented when he puts it together with the top hat, cane, timepiece and monicle he will be "screeming". The quality and packaging for shipment was first class. I will highly recommend you on every opportunity that arises. Your sales associate Adrianna was a joy to work with, totally versed in true Customer Service.
