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.

A walking skirt is the key piece for my reenactment and this one is great! Nice heavy twill makes it hang and move very nicely. I have a pattern for a walking skirt, but it made so much more sense to buy this one. I do have to shorten it, but no big deal. It's already pinned up so all I have to do is sit down and stitch up the hem. I have two pairs of boots that have different height heels so I want to be sure the skirt length works for both. Or better yet, I should order a second skirt from you so I can have a longer skirt for the dressy boots and a slightly shorter one for the walking boots. I think I like that solution!

Exactly as described. Quality was good.

We made multiple purchases this day. As compared to modern clothing - I rate this skirt as being very high quality. Every detail is superior and the fabric is high quality. I also had a chance to interact with the owner and staff - they were very helpful, very professional, and kind. If I have a future historical dress need I will go to no other merchant. I wish them a long and fruitful future.

This looks rather nice (but material not so great). The buttons on it are really small. It's really long as well and I will have to get it altered or I'll be falling on my face!

I love the way it looked! And I got a lot of compliments on my old fashioned outfit! I would recommend Historical Emporium to anyone.

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!

I bought this to go with a Top I had also purchased. I exchanged the medium for a large because of snugness. I love the quality of the fabric. I will wear it to an annual Victorian Feast held in our historical state park every year

Gave tour of a one room schoolhouse.

Some women friends and I are attending a Victorian Holiday Tea in December and we're all trying to dress in period costume. This skirt (and accompanying blouse) is just perfect. When I tried it on, my husband said "Wow! Now I want to go to the Tea too." I can use this outfit two or three times a year. All I have to do is shorten the skirt a couple inches, otherwise, I'll be dusting the floor as I walk.

This skirt is the perfect length for me and the adjustability of the buttons in the back makes the fit perfect. It's well made with a quality, somewhat heavy fabric, but easy to care for.

Very nice skirt! Fits well and is well built.

This is a lovely piece! It was such a joy to try on for the first time. The navy is just the shade I had hoped for and those buttons in the back are a great touch. :) As a tall lady (5'7'') with a 29'' waist, I thought I was taking a chance by ordering a small. However, the length and fit are great! This skirt pairs nicely with my new Victorian Boots as well, they give me the bit of extra height needed to keep the hem off of the ground. I like this so much that I will be getting one in another color...

I recently purchased the Navy Cotton Twill Walking Skirt & I LOVE it. The fit is just right for me even without wearing a corset. I am slowly transitioning into 19th C clothing on a full time basis & being a woman who wears a 2x makes it difficult. But you have made it easier & I received my order much quicker than I thought I would. Thank you :)

I live in the country. This is my skirt of choice when I go out with the dogs. You wish Downtan Abbey. Karen.

Love it! excited to wear next weekend!

I have not had a chance to wear it yet. I do like the quality, it is not flimsy, I expect to enjoy this one for a long time,

This is my third walking skirt ! I love them especially with the adjustable buttons on the back.

I absolutely love this skirt. It is made very well and I received many compliments on it. It fit perfect in length, just a little loose in the waist but I had layers on so it was perfect! I will definitely be buying more in the future!

Was happy to finally find a true dark navy blue skirt. Fit is true to size and adjusts in the back. Great quality as usual and holds up well in the wash.

This skirt is perfect! The back allows adjustments so that it fits quiet nicely. I used this skirt in my high school classroom for a simulation that we were doing and the students thought that the skirt with the Gibson blouse was delightful and helped to "set the stage" in the classroom for an era that has gone by. I have since decided to purchase the skirt in black so that i will have more options for next year!

I would have preferred 100% cotton, but the poly-blend does wash and dry very well (and without wrinkles when line-dried damp). I have a 35" waist and the XL was too large, but too-large is easier to adjust and adding a petticoat and/or moving the buttons should help. I'm a leggy 5'7" and the skirt hits well (although I have yet to try it on with low-heeled boots).

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.

My wife loves her new skirt! It fits her perfectly and really looks elegant!

I wore it to the polls. I dressed as a Suffragette. Everyone loved all of your items I wore.

Item was purchased for our reenactment groups Victorian walk in Guthrie Ok. mid December. The skirt arrived three days early, just in time to wear to Clarmore's Dickens on the Boulevard that night. We entered their costume contest and won most striking couple. The only things on our outfits that didn't come from Historical Emporium were her hat and shoes, and my vest, cane ,and shoes. Everyone we met were very complementary.

I just love it, It fits perfectly. i will wear it with a grey and black vest and a large, flowered hat for a big fund raiser in August.

I am was looking for something to wear to a Dicken's Fair. The skirt is very well made and looks beautiful. I do wish it had come in different lengths since I am short and this skirt is made for someone who is very tall. A hoop skirt would not solve the problem. Keeping it though, since I like it so much.

I wish the skirts came in a shorter length. I need the larger size but am 5'2"; so the skirts always have to be hemmed . Extra work and extra cost to shorten.

This skirt is quite simply, lovely. It is a slight shade darker than I expected but I have no complaints. The quality, as always, has exceeded my expectations. It's a delightful addition to my Victorian-inspired wardrobe. I will need to have it hemmed (a downside of being vertically challenged). I will certainly purchase more items from this company.

This is an awesome skirt made with sturdy fabric and buttons. The inseam is slightly short for me at 5' 10" but it's not enough to deter me from wearing it.

I'm wearing this convertible riding skirt when I portray Sara Plummer Lemmon in Truckee's Historical Haunted Tour!

Needed a new look for showing up to events for my equine therapy nonprofit and this fits the bill! It can be pants or skirt and has a great vintage Wild West look. Made of sturdy material - many riding skirts are too thin. I can't wait to try it in the saddle!

This convertible skirt is for a production of Little Women at a high school theater. The concept is perfect for the character. An XS size would be helpful but it was an easy alteration.

Well made!

I'm absolutely in love with this skirt. You can tell from the second you pick it up that the fabric is of very high quality, and there is a lot of it. The pictures don't do justice of how much material there is, and I get endless delight from how wide the legs are in "pants mode". The silhouette is just what I was looking for, and I am really excited for an opportunity to wear it in "skirt mode" for a different costume. I also really like the buttons -- I had been planning to switch them, but seeing them in person changed my mind. HE never lets me down!

So disappointed with these, I very well may send them back. The only thing stopping me is the postage back to the US. The material is so thin, it looks like it will rip the first time it's worn. It's a poor substitute for the Victorian Riding Skirt we used to have. In fact, it seems since COVID, they are having trouble with all their levels of stock. We can barely find the items we used to always buy and gave ***** reviews to. In fact, I had to source material from the US and am getting a coat made here like the one I used to be able to buy.

I wore these to a weekend to a historic hotel. I got so many compliments about how good it looks.

I am a tour guide at our local Railway Museum. I dress in clothes close to what would have been worn around here in 1910. I love the clothes I've gotten from Historical Emporium for several reasons: First they are all very well made, using good quality fabrics. Second they are reasonably priced. Third, I usually receive them within a week of the time I order them. Fourth, they are comfortable and look good and like the period. So far I've purchased a suit, 2 skirts, and at least 5 blouses. I have 2 tips for people buying for the first time: 1. read the sizing tables and reviews to insure you get the correct sizes on the blouses. Because of their construction, some blouses are more fitted than others, so you may need to order a size or two larger. 2. The skirts are usually long, so read the descriptions. This skirt, like the others I've ordered, is 41 inches long. I'll be cutting it shorter to fit me because I'm way too short to wear such a long skirt. I am able to make a simple modification like that myself, but if you don't sew, you'll need to find a way to shorten the hem if it's too long for you.

Hi Historical. I Soo love my new denim skirt. Why? Because the fabric is perfect for all seasons. B/c I'm tall & it falls to my ankles which I needed. B/c as a Christian this skirt covers my need for modesty. And b/c it's fun to wear. When I twirl around & the skirt's hem balloons out over my shoes, I'm in a ladies paradise. I will be buying more skirts. Also, I"ll wear this skirt everyday. Thanks for being a great company. Sincerely, Ms Neal.

This is a great vintage-looking skirt but not awkward to wear (once I shortened it, since I'm 5' 2".) It's described as denim-colored twill but the one I received was actually a light-weight real denim. Doesn't give off blue-jean vibes but maybe something you should be aware of.

These are perfect! The material an size were perfect also! I bought them for old bicycle riding an they worked out just as i had hoped. Will definitely buy from here again for my vintage attire!

This garmet was beautifully made out of quality fabric. Unfortunately the pair I received had a small flaw in the fabric in a visible area so I had to send them back. Fit: These riding pants would probably work best on someone 5'4" or taller. Also the waist is very fitted, no give, even though the garmet has lots of flowing fabric. I'm 5'1" weight 125lbs and the waist on the small was pretty snug ( my waist measures 30") Very disappointed they didn't work.

They fit is as if they were custom sewn for me and me alone. The pockets are fairly horizontal so they don't pooch out badly. The fabric is butter soft, and the rise exactly matches my waist to crotch ratio. They swirl nicely around my legs as I walk like a skirt, but since they are pants, my thighs don't have to be overly friendly. :) As I am not a small woman, my thighs do not always have a civil relationship with each other. I ordered the XL - I have a 40" waist and they measure exactly 39"... I'm okay with this. I WANT MORE!!! I can totally see what I am wearing this summer.

The fabric for these sueded riding pants is lovely, and they are lined. The only initial disappointment I had when I received my first order was that the sizing was way off! I have a 31.5" waist and initially ordered a Large that was supposed to fit waists up to 32" but I was floating in them, they were enormous around the waist and not even wearing a belt would have helped. I returned them and ordered a Medium that was to fit waists up to 29" and they fit perfectly. So something appears to be a bit off in the measurement guidelines. I've noticed this to be true with sizing recommendations for blouses as well based on two purchases made. Aside from that these riding pants were a great find and I absolutely love them. The photo doesn't quite do them justice because I didn't think the fabric would be as high quality as it is. I would definitely recommend these riding pants if you're looking for an item like this, just be cautious about what size you order to avoid the hassle of having to ship it back to exchange it for another.

This was my first purchase from Historical Emporium and the quality is outstanding! Everything arrives neatly pressed, in plastic bags and with very fast delivery. I will be wearing these and the other items I ordered as part of a barn costume party and picture day with everyone and our horses. I'm so excited to wear the ensemble and see the pictures. This site was a wonderful find, and I would highly recommend any item you are thinking about ordering. The fit and styles are exquisite and you will be very pleased with your purchase.

Pants are lovely. The material moves beautifully and the fit is excellent.

The sizing on these pants ran larger had to return to get a smaller size.Lots of room in the crotch area. The quality of the garment is wonderful! Future customers won't be disappointed. Return was processed fast. No complaints. Considering getting the green pair next.

These riding pants are great, I have an American Quarter Horse and have used them to ride in, they are comfortable and perfect for this. The quality is very good and hard waring, only problem is they will get dirty quick using them this way so I will need another couple of pairs, might even have a blouse to complete the look. My stables are based on the Western theme and we have open days where we set the Dutch Ovens up over the camp fires, finding this Historical Emporium site will enable us to dress up to make it more authentic - expect more orders coming you way. One very satisfied customer.

This riding skirt is such an amazing product! I have horses so going out riding or working around the ranch has never been so comfortable! The skirt has so much room for you to move your legs and since it is polyester it does keep you nice and cool on hot days. I personally like to go with historically accurate clothing material but this one makes an exception! I highly recommend this skirt!!!

Size was not normal....

They are really comfortable, and a lot of fun. Also look really deceptive from the front, friends can’t figure out if I’m wearing a skirt or pants 😊

The skirt was way too big. When I was ordering it I was told that they run small so even though I usually wear a small or 4 that the medium would probably fit best. The medium was at least 2 sizes too big. I have experienced other orders that the sizing was undependable.

Love the split skirt. It fits perfect.

I loved this riding skirt! I felt authentic to the period and looked great!!! Would love to send a photo!

Used for a Steampunk outfit and worked well. Could have bought a size smaller but went with the sizing chart for my size. It was nice to having a pair of pants that had the appearance of a skirt for a change.
