Reproduction Outfits

by Vintage Victorian

Vintage Victorian’s core business has been the creation of fine Vintage Reproduction Gowns, primarily for Vintage Dance but also for costuming and weddings. If you would like further information on how to order custom-made clothing please visit the Vintage Dressmaking page.
Here are a few examples of dresses made for myself and others, categorized by the general period they correspond to. Click on an image for additional information on the different eras of dress. This page is still under construction.
