This skirt is perfect for my volunteer job at a state park with a late 1800's theme. My only complaint is the length of the skirt is ridiculously long. I had to shorten it TEN inches!

love it, its a little too wide for me even with the additional buttons on the back but apart from that its perfect.i cant agree with the other reviews saying that its too long, im 5'1 and it doesnt even reach the floor when i wear it with my boots which i am very happy about

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!

I will wear it at the DAR house, Lewes, Delaware. We just completed a renovation of our 1890 kitchen. This will be the perfect outfit as a hostess.

I love this skirt! I was looking for a long cotton skirt, and this was perfect! The material is strong and durable, while also being soft and stylish. Just a word of warning for any short ladies, you may need to have it altered a little bit, because it is very long, but other than that- it's perfect!

Wonderful quality skirt, absolutely love it. Made me realize I'm on the shorter end of the spectrum, I'm going to have to hem it a few inches to keep from tripping over myself, but that's a me problem. Thick, high quality material and stitching, I'm going to be enjoying this skirt for a long time. My only complaint is that the buttons are extremely cheap little plastic things, I think I'll be replacing them.

with impeccable quality. It is a lovely fit!

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

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.

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.

Fits well and length was perfect. Lighter weight cotton skirt works well for the summer.

Loved it but many inches too long so had to return it

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

We attended a western black tie wedding. I loved the quality and fit of my skirt however I am 5'2" and the skirt was way too long or made for a crinoline. I had to roll the top and cover with a wide belt which worked fine.

I usually sew my own clothes but it was delightful to have someone else sew for me. The fit was perfect... I am tall and it's just the right length . Thank you! .l

I placed an order for three items. One was out of stock but the other two shipped. Received those two quickly and for a reasonable price. Thank you!

Am Abby in Arsenic and Old Lace. I am thrilled with both tge blouse and skirt. All I had to do was take it up .

It would have been nice to have length choices. I am going to have to cut off quite a bit. I am 5'4" (without shoes).

Love the twill walking skirts. I bought several colors. Love the adjustable button system for the waist.
