What a great skirt. It was exactly as described. I can't wait to wear it.

I purchased this pinstripe walking skirt and the matching shirt 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.

Highly taylored, great fit and looks amazing!

This whole outfit is quite nice and goes great with the short belt. The material is strong and nicely made.

I bought this for an event. It was beautiful and very well made. It fit perfect according to measurements. I was very pleased and will buy from this company again.

The fabric and construction is good quality, but of the 4 skirts I ordered, 3 had to have the center back panel completely removed to fit properly at the waist. These definitely run a bit big.

I was very pleased with this skirt. Fit was as described, with quite a bit of flexibility based on the multiple buttons available.

This was the only item in my order that matched my expectations based on the picture.

Although I think the products are a bit pricey, I certainly can not complain about the construction. I purchased both the blouse and skirt and both are very well made. I am new to this time period and a little hesitant about the look of the outfit but I think it will work for 1895. I thought the adjustability of the skirt was very clever and doesn't detract from an authentic look, at least as far as I can tell. I figure I'm saving myself a lot of work and aggravation by not sewing this one from scratch. However, I will be jazzing it up with some borders and an additional collar. I will also add horsehair around the hem. This is all for an event later this month where I give house tours and like to dress to the year the house was built. I think I'm pretty happy with this purchase and will be buying a white blouse sometime in the future.

I love this skirt. It is nicely made and looks great in the black and white pinstripes. I wore it for the first time today (with the matching blouse and a black jacket) for a suffragette outfit that I wore to one of the Women's Marches. These are made like real clothing, not costumes, very nice. The skirt feels very accurate to the period - smooth and staight in front with a wonderful great sweep behind. I wore three petticoats under it for the full effect. It felt great! I did get the hem quite muddy, so we'll see how she does in the laundry!

I am very pleased with the pinstripe skirt. The fabric and quality are great and the adjustable button waist makes for a good fit.

Though I used reasonable measurements as instructed, this skirt was much larger. Even after washing, with a fair amount of shrinkage, I had to alter the waist. But my whole outfit with the blouse and hat was stunning. I got many compliments at our 4th of July festivities.

The skirt is wonderful. I love the adjustable button waist. The fit is as promised.

This skirt is so beautiful! It is exactly like the ones you see in vintage Edwardian photos from the years 1900-1910

Nice and full. I'm tall so the length (5'8") was fine. Multiple buttons in the back so I was able to adjust to fit.

When I opened the package containing the black cotton twill walking skirt, my first thought was I was mistakenly sent the navy-blue skirt instead of the black skirt I ordered. The tag on the skirt said black so then I just figured it was the material that made it look a lighter black. When I put it next to my other black items, shirt and belt, it still looks dark navy blue. If I put a pair of navy-blue pants up to the skirt, they are the same color. I love the skirt; it fits well and is very well made and flowingly full. I just wear it with my white or non-black blouse and belt and it looks great.

My mom loves the skirt it fit perfect

Light weight for our hot weather in Texas! Only had to hem for best fit. True to size.

This is definitely an all-around wear anywhere skirt. The twill cotton material is fantastic, you can wear it in any season and can be worn with any type of top. I have a white vintage lace Georgian blouse to wear with it, also a soft blush color pullover sweater, the possibilities are endless! Can be worn with my vintage black bow tie shoes or boots! Can dress it up or down, with my vintage cameo jewelry or just a bracelet or two. Arrived very quickly and unlike some sellers, in great shape, not bunched up or wrinkled, can practically be worn right out of the packaging! I really appreciate the care taken in sending the clothing, superior care for superior clothing!! Everyone comments on where I got this skirt, among other dresses I purchased here, you won't find these in the mall!! I definitely plan on getting more!

This skirt lives up to its photo. Fabric quality excellent, fit at waist and hips as quoted. But the length....so long. I'm going to break out the sewing machine. Find someone to help me pin it up, and then put in a new hemline. Please consider petite lengths. This skirt is quality, quality, Quality and worth the price.

I owned two of these skirts before acquiring this one, and this one elegantly solved some of the problems of the earlier models. This is not to slag off on the previous ones, but the added buttons on the waist darts are a blessing. A few evenings ago I was out at my local, outside and "social distancing", wearing an almost entirely Historical Emporium rig (the new black skirt, a new white Yukon waistcoat, and a black "pirate shirt" with lace trim, and picked up a comment of, "You look beautiful". As a six-foot-four bloke that's not a usual comment, but it was welcome anyway. It's not just a "walking skirt" either. At one point in time I needed to actually run in one of these -- and it worked!

Really nice quality. I will need to take at least 5" off the length (I am 5'3"). I am a plus sized woman and I ordered this in a 4x, could easily have done with a 3x and will definitely get another one in a 2x or 3x size.

The skirt is made with substantial, not flimsy, fabric, with quality workmanship.

Love the fabric. Very well made.

Very authentic looking, great quality, perfect condition, fast delivery!

I had to pay $50 to have this twill cotton skirt altered - it was about 5 inches too long. I sent it back the first time; don't read the reviews that state it is too small. I usually wear a 2X fitted but ordered a 3X because of previous reviews. That was a mistake; the 2X was the correct size, but again - no petites were offered and I had to have this altered.

This skirt is very well made inside and out, and looks great when it's worn, because the fabric is a good quality and weight, and hangs well. The measurements are accurate as posted with the description. The two sets of buttons allows you to make the adjustments to get the right fit. My order arrived when promised, and in great condition. A great shopping experience!

Love this skirt! The fabric, with the embroidery, is very classy. Though designed to be mid-calf length, it works as a full-length for me because I'm short. I purchased this for our town's Heritage Day celebration - and I can't wait for the day of the event.

This is such a wonderful skirt. It is vintage, classy, and so very comfortable.

Perfect!

Lovely fabric. Well made. It is one size fits most and it was true to that.

My wife was very pleased with its fit, both waist and length. This looks perfect with her white blouse. An elegant, but comfortable style.

I love this skirt, it looks wonderful and is extremely comfortable, even to wear to work. I have been pairing this with the black Vesta blouse, and they look really great together. Thank you for another lovely item!

Love the fabric! I was concerned that the gathered waist would make me feel pudgy, but it doesn't when blousing the blouse. Purchased this for a historical event, but will wear it with different accessories for regular wear. Excellent fabric and workmanship! Very elegant!

The skirt is exactly what was advertised online and what I wanted. It is just my style and I plan to get alot of wear out of it.

This was purchased with the natural colored Abbington blouse as a gift for my mother. She wore it several days in a row, so it was well received. Timely shipping. Will buy from Historical Emporium again.

The skirt is fantastic. It came in a reasonable amount of time and my wife really really loves it.

This is a wonderful skirt -- the color is just as shown in the photo (a rich deep garnet), the material is light and flowy, and the cut is flattering for a variety of body types. It is "classic" enough to be included in a vintage-type outfit, but also contemporary enough to be worn in everyday situations. I love it!

This skirt was purchased as a Christmas gift for a friend. She absolutely loved it -- tried it on as soon as she opened it and did not take it off for the rest of the evening! She and her family (as well as I) were very impressed with the quality and beauty of the skirt.

First off all, this skirt was beautiful! I loved it. Unfortunately, I couldn't wear it. It only comes in one size, and while it technically fit me--insofar as I could get it on my body--it was not attractive at all. I am on the large size, and the skirt fit very tightly over my caboose' and did not, in fact swirl and just plain looked bad. This really needs to come in a bigger size, with more fabric, for the plus size among us. I gave it to my daughter, who is much smaller than I, and it looks lovely on her. I hope to see it offered in a larger size some day so I can buy one for myself.

I was disappointed. The item was priced too high considering it was foriegn made. Won't do that again.

The fabric of the skirt really is lovely. The length was perfect, the only down side is the very strong elastic at the waist, will take some stretching to loosen it up.

Very nice, swirly, nice detailing. A little snug for plus size, but not bothersome enough to not want it.

The skirt was perfect for my needs and has already been used several times.

The material was thinner than I'd hoped but for the price it's a decent skirt and worked with my costume. The elastic easily fit me and I'm a bigger person.

This is a great skirt in a lovely patterned fabric. I like that the waist is adjustable for a comfortable fit.

Skirt was very comfortable and durable. It held up well for my purpose.

I am very happy with this skirt. It arrived earlier than anticipated even though I did not pay for expedited shipping. The adjustable waist fits perfectly and is comfortable. I am a petite and the length hits just below ankle with 1 1/2 -2 inch heels. The embroidery on the black is really pretty. The quality of the material is much nicer than you would expect at this price.

This was purchased as a gift for my wife in celebration of Jesus's Birthday. She loved it and it fit perfect (waist and length).

Very pleased with this skirt - lovely material and beautiful detail. The one-size-fits-all elastic band fit me fine.

I love the skirt. It looks very classic with the decorative stitching. My Victorian outfit is complete for our cottage-owners Chautauqua celebration week.

Wow! This skirt not only feels comfortable, but it's perfect for many other tops I own! I really needed this one!

This skirt is stunning in detail and material. Everyone noticed it. I love it and I am thinking of buying the one in brown.

I bought this for my daughter. She liked the extra row of buttons which improves the fit.

Skirt looks great - simple and sturdy. Weighs 2 lbs! I have not worn it yet - am going to have to hem it up. It is a bit too long - trip-worthy - and I am 5'7" tall.

I just purchased this for an event coming up and it fits great. A nice garment. I will purchase from you again.

This is a great skirt! Lots of fabric makes it easy to walk in. I ordered 2 XL because I am big around and it fits great. I will have to shorten the skirt because I am not a tall person. I am pleased.

Great quality material.Hate that I have to alter length and lose the skirts fullness.

Very hearty skirt I thought it would be tea length but is was to the floor. Also thought it was bias cut but it was pleated. Returned and graciously refunded.....i had planned to hunt in it but too much skirt for easy movement

My only problem is that i am losing weight so another will have to be bought!

The quality of my skirt is wonderful.

I really was impressed with this skirt quality. It is very long so I had to have it shortened but I always do. Other wise the fit was perfet! Very flattering with the somerset blouse's. Would work for a pioneer, victorian or old west look.

I was very impressed by the quality of this skirt. It is very well put together and has a good heavy feel about it. I bought this to wear to my daughter's Steampunk wedding but will be wearing it well beyond that because I love it. I will be wearing the tulle bustle skirt under it and a corset over it. It looks fantastic and I can't wait to wear it to the wedding. My husband will be wearing the brown cotton twill vest and trousers which match. I bought size XL as my waist size is 34". Because of the design, it is possible to add another button to make it a little larger or smaller. Very very happy!!

I really liked this skirt from the moment it arrived. It is well made, and the fabric quality is excellent. The buttons on the back allow for adjustment in the waist. If I could suggest an improvement, it would be to make these in a petite length. At 5 feet and no inches tall, it was of course, too long. However, I am used to this, and it did not take long to re-hem it to an appropriate length. I highly recommend this skirt.

The skirt was exactly as in the picture. The material is durable and heavy. For the most part the stitching is very secure. (three stitches in the waist band unraveled but very easily fixed by even a complete sewing novice like me.). I am happy over all.

I was thrilled and delighted with my purchase and decided to go ahead and order a summer skirt as well. I liked the fit and the length was grand. I am a tour guide in costume and I also am involved in first person theater in our area, of women of the 1800's. I will enjoy the comfort of my new outfits. Thanks, so much!

This is a very nice skirt - well made, looks good and is a beautiful, rich brown color. I also own this style in the tan/khaki color. I like the option of the extra buttons in the back which allow for adjustment depending on whether you're wearing a blouse tucked in or an over blouse.

Very nice, good quality skirt. The button closures at the back work great. I'm very satisfied with this purchase - the (international) transaction was very smooth and trouble-free.

This skirt was a great value. The material kept me cool in the heat and warm in the chill of night. It also functioned as a blanket to sit on when wearing it and was very comfortable.
