Very good and would purchase again

I ordered the five hoop farthingale boned with steel. It arrived on time with the 3-day shipping and is made out of high quality materials. No elastic or fiddly drawstrings here! The waistband was true to size and very easy to adjust by sliding the sturdy cotton webbing though the plastic buckle. It was a bit long on me, but the hoops slid out easily to alter the fabric. It would have been helpful to know the length of the farthingale before buying. The ends of the hoops are secured only by being overlapped in their channels, not snapping together with buckles as I believed they would be based on the written description. The fabric of the farthingale is much less gathered over the hoops than the picture suggests. Overall I am very happy with the service and quality of the product. A better photo of a person actually wearing the farthingale, along with more detailed dimensions and detail shots, would be very helpful for future customers.

I absolutely adore these products. My only complaint is that I measured myself multiple times prior to ordering to ensure the pieces would fit properly. Unfortunately there are very few "sizing charts" scattered through this website that I used as a best guess at what size would fit me. Upon trying on the pieces, they just were so large! I would recommend buying smaller than your measurements for a chemise, and the gown. My measurements are 42.5 bust/40 waist/42.5 hip, So I got the L/XL, and I was drowning in material. I decided to take it to get a custom fit to my exact size for my next Faire event. Other than sizing, it was a quick ship, perfect material, and look! Thanks!

While I am satisfied it would be better to be able to track the status of my order so I know if there are any issues.

Good quality products. Great service with orders and returns. But the website has a lot of out of stock items you cannot purchase. They should change the process to allow for buying out of stock items that will ship automatically when able. Otherwise you have to keep checking back.

The delivery was quick and the product is very nice. I'm very happy with my first impression of your company. Thanks.

The color is beautiful and it looks nice, but it is a thin cotton that should be $35. It is going to be comfortable to wear in the heat which will be nice. The feel of the cotton is soft and smooth. Size feels true to size. The under garment I got has a nice shape to the sleeves, It feels a bit large for the size. If you are worried that the undergarment won't be large enough for you, don't worry. Plenty of room. The overdress, you might want to order larger if you are between sizes.

I purchased the night set for my wife and I must say it looks great. The only thing lacking was a sizing chart to insure proper fit. Good workmanship and design.
