Very Good
A well made, very modern version, of the famous pocket watches. As long as you do not know the History of such items, this will serve welll.

Clever/but
The pendant is fine as is. The clasp is too large and awkward for the size. And it should be sold in 'silver' as well as brass

Stage Use Only
Greetings; This I bought for a gift to a friend, who will never know the flaws to this vest. It is built like 'two shirts sewn together'. There is NO structure behind the two layers of THIN fabrick. I would not recommend wearing this item to 'someplace special'. There are still folks who "know whereof" and will spot a stage costume over a true made vest-always. So buy and wear with these cautions. In the positive side; it is well cut and sewn, the fabrick is passable. Buyer Beware/ Signed Mr.C.S.Anthony, Retired Historical Tailor

Nice color!
Very much like the color. Much too long, of course, but I had to order for the waist measurement and length can be adjusted. Also like that it arrived quickly.

Vests complete the outfit...
no matter what outfit you are wearing. A couple of years ago I decided to wear suspenders rather than keep tightening my belts. Vests are perfect to cover suspenders. Historical Emporium has the best selection of well made, good looking vests I could find, and I checked out almost every site on the Web. The service is terrific and the shipping is beyond speedy. One coat that I ordered was a little too heavy for my likes and, even though it had been a special order, there was no quibble from Historical Emporium about my returning it. I will continue to check out their period clothing and plan to keep purchasing from them whenever I need more. They are worth a try!

Hardy pants
Of course these canvas trousers will hold up. Look good high waisted. Problem is my mid section is a tad larger than I thought. And need to exchange them.

Beautiful color. 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) Cordelia Pioneer Dress. The large was more comfortable in the chest, but I needed the length hemmed by about two inches, and the sleeves shortened as they went past my wrist and were too wide. The red was tighter in the chest but not uncomfortable, and the sleeves came right to my wrist (perfect!), and length was just high enough above the ground to keep from getting dirty when I walked --which was was perfect for me So I wore the red for my event and let another slightly taller woman in my group borrow the green one. Love the pockets which are hidden in a side seam. Fit my larger Pixel 9 phone perfectly. I wore a small classic cotton petticoat underneath (it was the same length as the medium petticoat) and there was a LOT of room (almost enough to fit in another person) so there were plenty of ruffes when you pull the drawstring closed. Shipping was fast!

Not for shorter, small-chested women
I ordered a twill ladies apron for an event at Fort Nisqually, WA where period dress was required. I am 5'1 and while the overall length was okay (it reached the bottom of my dress), but the bib was too wide and too tall to sit well on me. If I tied the strings around my neck, the bib would not lie flat but would stick out in the middle. I am 5'1", 150 pound, chest 39", waist 37", hips 42." Gave it four stars though because it was well made, would likely fit someone taller and wide, and shipping was quick.

Perfect for accessorizing
Perfect for wearing on top of either the green or red pioneer dress. I am only 5'1' and it was the perfect length (above six inches below my knees). I love that it has pockets to store my keys an some cash. Pockets dimensions are 7" deep and 6" wide. However, I was afraid that the top of my quite definitely NOT non-period phone would be visible if anyone glanced down at it, so i kept that in the pockets of my Cordelia dress underneath.

Beautiful. Fit almost perfectly.
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),

SO MUCH extra cloth--size down
I ordered both a small and a medium classic cotton petticoat to wear under the Cordelia pioneer dress 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 am 5'1", 150 pound, chest 39", waist 37", hips 42." The hemming at the bottom is pretty and is almost a shame to hide under the dress.
Muslin Bonnet

One size does not fit all
I wore this wore a pioneer event even though it was a bit too large for my head. There was plenty of space under the bonnet if one wanted to put hair up in a bun, but even with that there was plenty of space left over. That stiffer sides were a bit too large for my small head so they were not as rounded as I l would have liked when it was tied on. It kept the sun away better than the mop cap so I wore it anyway, It arrived folded so you may wish to iron out the crease at the top prior to wearing,
