For The Ladies

"The story of the war will never be fully or fairly written if the achievements of women in it are untold."….


Frank Moore, Women of the War, 1867

Sizing

Dresses are in period sizing, please refer to the chart below to determine the best size for you.

Note on the dresses. The economy dresses do not have piping. All though very common, not every dress was embellished with it. There are many picture and article references that support this. However, many progressive groups require piping as a standard.

Our 1860’s Simple dress does indeed have piping around the collar and shoulders.
