I've been looking for a dress shirt from the 1800's with the turned up collar and this is perfect.

Dinner date!

Definitely get the shirt heavily starched or make your own from rice flour. The collar should always be very stiff.

My husband is a tall thin guy and the small was a perfect fit for him. It looks great and the buttons and stitching is very high quality. Would definitely buy again from these guys.

Great shirt

Very nice looking and comfortable shirt that is well made in a good quality cotton. Size is a bit bigger than expected, but after a cold wash and a tumble dry it shrunk to a perfect fit.

This is not a cheap replica or tuxedo shirt. It's high quality fabric and craftsmanship. Very please worth the extra money

I am into Steampunk, and this is the conclusion of attire I needed in its creation. I had several other shirts that just couldn't fit the bill for various different reasons. When I put the shirt on with my other clothes and then finally the face mask I created, the shirt gave an added debonair look that made me say only one thing. "EXCELSIOR!!"

Loved the fit and the style and the %100 washed cotton. Exactly what I wanted.

Very well made. Sturdy material. Collar is as advertised, tall. Fit comes just underneath the jawline. Cuffs are magnificent as they are a true fold over French cuff in every sense. Cufflink holes line up on the mark. These are not conversion cuffs as there are no buttons, so keep that in mind when ordering. Sleeves are a bit long for me. Bought a size large. I'm a 16-161/2 neck with a 34/35 sleeve. Easy remedy is to buy a pair of sleeve garters. Problem solved. As with all the shirts I've purchased here, very satisfied. Will wrinkle when laundered so be ready for some starch and ironing.

This shirt is the design and quality only found on the platform of Historical Emporium. Thanks again for having great apparel.

The shirt fit as expected per the measurements and sizing chart. The quality of the fabric and sewing are excellent. Sleeves were a bit longer than expected, but that gave a good, baggy/slouchy sleeve look, which I liked. The collar and shoulders were proper tightness to complete the high-collar look for my outfit.

quick service, excellent quality, and the fit was perfect

Had to period-match a suit on short notice, and Historical Emporium came through big time! Shipping was very fast, and I was very satisfied with the quality of the garment. Thank you!

Recommend this shirt, very smart

Very good quality textile. Crafted as well as any modern-made shirt. It should last a long time. Because of the full-cut, I will need to have the sleeves shortened, but that was expected.

This is a well made shirt which fits my actor perfectly. He is the lead in Bunbury.

Surprised by excellent quality!

I just simply needed a classically designed shirt for a semi dressy outfit with my new Callahan Frock Coat. I'm a retired architect and a jewelry artist, and I prefer distinctive clothing. I'm in the process of making a very special hand carved Australian Opal and yellow 18k gold-set bola tie to wear with this outfit. The shirt's tailoring and fit is just what I was hoping for. I normally wear an extra large and this shirt is an extra large. It fits perfectly and no alteration is needed.

Bought for a friend ,was very pleased with item. Thank you

Great look and fit. Couldn't be happier and it looks fricken great on!!!

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product. The fabric holds a press without starch and the stitching is second to none. As good a shirt as any I've had made by a tailor. Historical Emporium's shipping is second to none. My order (which was a special order) arrived weeks before an Amazon order made on the same day -- all the way to Singapore.

Everyday wear,

This shirt fits appropriately and is a pleasure to wear!

These "old style" western shirts are so comfortable and cool that they can even be worn in this Texas heat! The puffy sleeves permit air-flow and do not cling to one's arms like modern western shirts. Those people of yesteryear who didn't have air-conditioning knew what they were doing. I wear Western Emporium attire on a daily basis and the compliments at WALMART, KROGER, McD's, never stop. When people inquire, I always proudly mention Western Emporium. Western Emporium attire has replaced my old wardrobe entirely ... and permanently. These clothes suit me and they make a statement: "I don't have to be like everybody else, because I'm not." This is not for pride or arrogance, it is for being free to be who I want to be and I like what Western Emporium provides.

The Morgan shirt was everything I was hoping for. Nice soft material and in a beautiful shade of blue. Overall quality is excellent and I am tempted to buy another!

This isn’t a costume shirt, it’s a dress shirt designed to the style of a former era, so I expected a lot and it is nearly perfect. Purchased for a Regency/Bridgerton costume to wear with vest and stock. My husband has sensory issues (autism, ADHD) so nothing but a cotton or linen shirt works. This was the only 100% cotton one I found. Seams and buttonholes are dress shirt quality, as expected. No loose threads. Collar has a loop on the back to secure a tie. Collar is double thickness and opaque, stands up on its own but will need ironing and starching. Body of the shirt is slightly translucent - without a vest, an undershirt will be necessary, but it will be cool in summer. Cut is era-appropriately boxy to loose. Lots of ease across the back with pleating. My husband is a chest size 44, but shoulders are 46 so we ordered XL. Turns out he could have sized down to L, as the shoulders are 1/2” past his natural shoulder, but as Regent shoulders were drop shoulders anyway, we’re keeping it. My husband is 6’, but with a 31” inseam so his torso fits like a 6’2” person. The length is perfect, and even at 6’4” you likely could get away with it, though it may be a little harder to keep tucked in is you’re doing more than walking and sitting. We’re very pleased with the shirt and I suspect he’ll look for other occasions and ways to wear it, because it’s so comfy. Photos are hung up wet to drip dry. Relatively wrinkle free, but needs ironing and collar...

Our grand daughter has chosen the theme of late Victorian for her wedding. Her colors are red and Gold. The first coat, shirt and pants that I ordered were too big and I needed to return them for the next smaller size. The exchange was accomplished within 5 days. A company rep. was very helpful when I called about the problem. The replacement garments are a good fit although I will need a small alteration to the vest because my middle is larger than my chest. Quality & workmanship of clothing is excellent and I expect that they will last for many years.... and Never go out of style. Thank you! I plan to order additional items in future.

I interpret as an undertaker in Ohio in 1898. We provide a variety of events including working/living in a 19th century village. I fully recommend this shirt as it looks very good/authentic and it's comfortable.

fit and quality was spot on

The color is amazing! Much more of a dress shirt than I usually order from the Historical Emporium, but I am very pleased with the fit and as I mentioned earlier, the color. This is going to be an excellent addition to my wardrobe, especially for the holiday season!

This shirt was well made and the fit and finish was perfect!

Your shirts a great my husband and sons all like them they are wearing them in our oldest son wedding Plus our friends order shirts also I sent them your web site and all were really impressed. Sincerely Sandy And wii order again very soon

Great quality, perfect fit. Exactly what I wanted!

The blouse is well-made and finished off nicely on the inside. The fabric is soft but not flimsy, making it comfortable to wear. The I am five-foot-one, so was concerned about the sleeve length and shoulder width, but the blouse fits well, so I won't need to make any alterations to it. The height of the collar is a bit higher than any other blouse I have, but it doesn't touch the bottom of my chin. The bodice is longer than other blouses I usually wear, but since I am going to be tucking it inside my skirt, that isn't going to be a problem. Based on the fabric used and the quality of the finished product, the price is reasonable, compared to other blouses you would buy at a department store. Even though the blouse was special ordered, I received it many days sooner than the promised delivery date.

Exactly as described! Great quality and perfectly accurate replica!

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.

We went to the Great Dickens Christmas Fair and enjoyed :-)

Worn with classic honey-colored Edwardian suit. Very comfortable and well made. I always sew in a Velcro spot at the neck seam if anticipating wearing a broach. The invisible spot reinforces the seam placement when holding the extra weight of the broach and prevents gaping.

Nice white blouse with pretty lace detail

This beautiful blouse is lined with the scratchiest sleeve heads (to make the sleeves stand out.) They are so abrasive that they made red welts on my shoulders. Fortunately, I was able to cover the raw edge of the sleeve head with some bias tape. Now the blouse is as comfortable as it is beautiful. The fabric is very good quality and in the workmanship other than the sleeve heads is excellent. The fit is mostly as specified. The cuffs on the sleeves are a bit peculiar in that they are cylindrical in shape rather than tapering toward the wrist. I can set over the buttons to make them look right, but the forearm is not cylindrical in shape and the long cuffs should not be either.

This blouse arrived quickly & was packaged well. It's beautiful & I received many compliments when I wore it as part of my Edwardian outfit in a parade. The only reason I had to give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the stitching inside the shoulders is very scratchy.

I needed a roomier blouse to wear for walking tours. This blouse, though not "authentic" gives the impression, fits well, and is room enough to enjoy wearing it in hot, active situations.

I wore this blouse for an 1894 costume while attending a Victorian Garden Party. It was perfect. The fit was just as expected. It is well-made. If you need a blouse like this, you can't go wrong getting this one.

I love this shirt! The only drawback is that it is 100% cotton, so it requires ironing. (Good for authenticity; not good for regular wear.) It would be nice if some of the clothing had "easy care" fabric-blend options.

This is a beautiful blouse but the fit was off on me. It gapped at the bust& the shoulders were a smidge too small but the sleeves were too long. Again, a lovely, well made blouse but just didn’t fit my athletic body type which is the ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars & not 5.

I used the provided size guide and found it accurate. This is a lovely blouse, well-made, detailed, and well-finished. High quality, just like everything else I have purchased from Historical Emporium.

This blouse was pretty true to size, but did shrink slightly in the cold water wash, which was great for me. The blouse needs to be a bit more fitted, but a few darts will solve the problem, as wearing a corset gives it much more structure and period authenticity. The blouse would be even greater if it was lined, as the material allows the corset to show, so must wear a corset cover. Overall, I love this blouse!

This blouse is very well done. It fit nicely and will easily adapt to a number of looks.

I was amazed at how beautiful this blouset was. The details and workmanship were just wonderful. There were two problems though. I had to get a 2XL based on the measurement chart. I have never been even close to 2XL in my life. I would probably get the 1XL size for a blouse from Historical Emporium next time I order and I will buy again. But this blouse fits fine. I swear that the sleeves were the length of an orangutan's arms. I had to cut 4-5 inches off of them. Luckily I can sew and the sleeves/cuffs were sewn on in such a manner that the sleeve was easily separated from the cuff, sleeve shortened, and sewed back so that you can not tell that the cuff was ever touched. I am 5'6" and have a normal arm length. I think someone who is shorter than I, but still fits the sizing, will have a much bigger problem. Note that I had the same problem, and will be making this same comment, on the Tabitha outfit. I hope HE can correct this sizing problem. I may not always be able to accommodate the construction changes that will probably be necessary. Good thing I sew well, just to lazy to make my own outfits.

This is a well made garment, simple in design, but with historic accuracy.

Second Muriel blouse purchase. Really like how it looks good on almost any figure.

I love the way it looked on me! The sleeves around the wrists are a little too loose for my liking, but it's an easy fix. Apart from that it's a well made shirt and it feels comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Beautiful blouse, fits so good! Great fabric and workmanship. The only cons is pricky material used in shoulder wings which hold puff sleeves. If the makers would manage turn the ends of the netting they used there not to the human size, but to the top side of the sleeve, the blouse would be perfect. I solved the problem adding extra fabric layer over pricky piece and it worked.

The blue blouse fits perfectly. Very well made. Beautiful. Thanks so much.

So we'll made. Perfect for our Mrs Darling in Peter Pan.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Wearable cotton/poly blend will work with several different costumes!

Purchased this blouse to go with a Black Satin skirt and hat also purchased from this company. Absolutely fabulous. Our church had an Old Time Days. What a perfect outfit.

I love the blouse. I love the color and the addition of small pleats across front. It wears well and looks lovely. My only concern is when comparing it to my other, same sized blouse purchased from you, this one is not as roomy across the bust line. I imagine the addition of the pleats gathered some of the looseness found in other style.

I have a white blouse from this company in size medium that fits perfectly. I ordered this one in medium as well but it runs larger. If I'd tried it on, I would probably have purchased a small. Also I didn't care for the white trim at the cuffs and collar so I removed it. The blouse is of excellent weight material and well finished and made.
