The wearer reports this is really good. You should have one too.

I needed a Victorian era blouse for an event -- A Dickens of a Christmas. This one was perfect. I wore it with a brooch on a wide burgundy ribbon at the neck. I usually take a medium but got a large after seeing a few reviews. It's a bit loose but allowed me to wear a long sleeve tee underneath for warmth. Even though I have a full length hooded cape, I just used a large pashmina shawl and didn't need a coat. I like that it's extra long and straight, so it didn't bunch up under a full taffeta skirt and petticoat. The sleeves and cuffs are beautiful and the cuffs don't bunch or wrinkle. I'm so glad I found your website and that you ship so quickly.

I love this blouse, fabric is beautiful and fits really well, true to size.

This is the quality I was looking for. So pleased with this blouse. I will definitely be shopping with You again !

beautiful shirt just what l was looking for came quickly and l love it

I love the clothing you can purchase from the Historical Emporium..definitely aligns with historical periods... is good quality and well made. What I have found is when ordering, you need to probably purchase the next size up. I ordered the Weddington Blouse in a large because of my bust size; however, when I received it, it was too tight across the chest so I returned it and ordered an extra large. The extra large fits in the shoulders and chest, but the arm length is too long as is the length of the shirt--I could almost wear it as a night shirt. I love the design and quality of it, so I'm taking it to a seamstress to get it altered to fit my 5'1" frame. The added cost to have it altered plus the price of the shirt makes it a little pricey. I only wish they would carry petite sizes to fit those of us who are petite, then perhaps I wouldn't have the same problem the next time I order. Highly recommend the company if you are seeking historical types of clothing.

This was highly sufficient, and honestly worth it for the time that I would have taken to create a similar (probably less detailed) garment. Quite good for the price. I'm excited to wear it.

Perfect. This blouse makes me look beautiful. I love it. Karen

It's a beautiful blouse, and perfect for my job as a Victorian-costumed Christmas caroler. My only problem is that despite my weight being stable over the years, and my measurements actually getting smaller by an inch or two, I now take a size 3X. I started off with the Darlington blouse as an XL, then went to 2X so that I could wear long underwear under the shirt for outdoor caroling gigs. So I ordered a 2X in the Weddington, and it was too small. If it shrunk at all, it would not have fit, let alone over a high-tech warming layer. So I ordered the 3X, and it just fits with the extra layer after the first washing, though the sleeves are a bit too long. I don't know if it's the style of the blouse or if the company's sizes have shrunk. But I guess I'd better pay more attention to losing weight if I hope to keep buying from Historical Emporium!

First blouse I had to send back because the size was not according to your chart. The second one did fit. The product was well made, however, the stitching used, especially in the shoulders was very itchy. I did wear it for an event last night and got a lot of compliments on the entire outfit.

The blouse itself is quite nice and fits well. The shoulder seams, however, are horrible. The material to make it stiff, buckram or something, pokes right into my shoulders. It's like pins sticking into your skin. I had to sew some seam binding on it to be able to wear it.
