Dickens Days Skirt

A red wool skirt, gathered around the entire waist, back hook-and-eye closure. Typical of the styles of the 1840's. Wear this one with one or more flounced petticoats (cotton, flannel, or quilted for warmth, if you wish to be really authentic) but no hoop crinoline...they came later in about the mid-1850's.

Price: $100.00

Red and Gray Cape

The cape is elbow length, in gray wool with red trim to match the red skirt.

Price: $100.00

Like the blouse under the cape? So sorry...we got it for a buck at a local church thrift shop! If you are looking to put an outfit together at minimum expense, try your local thrift shops, too. Look for blouses in cotton or linen, or in polyester as long as it isn't shiny. Tucks, insertion lace, high collars (for the 1880's and later look), and back buttons will go a long way to making it look "passable." Can't find anything?
