Loved the color and style
July 12, 2018

Loved the color and style. Wore the vest one day and a button popped off. Wasn't too thrilled. I called and made a complaint. Nothing done. No apologies.

We purchased some items for our upcoming wedding, and we had forgotten to add a shirt to the order. We emailed customer support to add the shirt to our current order, which they did very quickly, and got everything shipped out very fast. Everything was exactly what we were hoping for in fit and style! Great shopping overall!

This is a unique business
July 6, 2018

This is a unique business. They cater to a specific market and know how to do it very well. Descriptions of product are detailed, yet concise. I recommend reading any specific notes on the item. The information is extremely helpful in making your decisions. The photos allow you to see the item from all angles including how they look in a complete ensemble. You know what you are buying. There are plenty of links on a product page to see other related items. This made my shopping experience a breeze.

From a customer service standpoint, the company is wonderful. I had some minor questions and when I called I was greeted by a knowledgeable represented who was incredibly warm and friendly. She answered my questions completely, offering her recommendations based on her experience with other customers. I was in good hands. I placed my order (a complete ensemble) online on a Friday and it was on my doorstep on Monday morning! I don't expect this to be the norm, but it definitely was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks to the detailed descriptions and excellent customer service everything fit perfectly! I did have to hem the trousers, but I knew I'd have to, based on the product notes. The fabrics are sturdy, well-constructed and reasonably priced. I do a lot of cosplay and have spent small fortunes on costumes. My entire ensemble (jacket, vest, shirt, trousers, and tie) cost about the same as the hat I'll be wearing with it.

All-in-all, this was a great experience from beginning to end. I hope you take advantage of their services. You won't be sorry. Have fun in your historical adventures!

As a first time overseas buyer I was very nervous about my shopping experience. However when my purchase arrived I couldn't have been happier. Quality was excellent and the delivery time far better than predicted. Overall, I'm a very happy shopper!

Once again a well made item
July 4, 2018

Once again a well made item. It does run true to size. The first two blouses I purchased were a bit more generous in the bust. I would have returned it but I am afraid the armhole might have been too large as in modern clothing. Period clothing is quite fitting in this area renders a more true look. I'm fussy. Just might have to lose a few pounds.
