NO-it is not a wrapper in the sense of a morning robe, but a dress that can be worn either as a basic work dress or when accessorized with a pretty collar and fancy belt can be “dressed up” for the look of a day or better dress. By definition a wrapper was a garment which flows from the shoulders. Our dress features a fully lined bodice with a fitted back and a skirt that has adequate circumference to be worn with or without a hoop skirt. Fabric is pleated at the shoulders giving the garment a wonderful fullness in the bust and waist making it truly adjustable. This fullness is arranged in the front and held in place with a belt, giving the dress a slightly fan-front or gathered bodice look depending on how the fullness is arranged. This loose fitting makes the garment adjustable for maternity wear as well. This style was worn from the 1840’s thru the 1870’s. This outfit would be appropriate for Civil War reenactments as well as other mid 1800’s events such as Dickens or Christmas Fairs, fur trade rendezvous or wagon train (Prairie) events. It would also be a good outfit for historical sites.

This dress is shown with a hoop skirt and a pretty collar and broach. These items are NOT included but are offered in other listings.

This style is very user friendly. It fits comfortably and with the button-front bodice is easy to put on and take off. It does not require understructures such as a corset or working stays to achieve its period look. The only undergarment recommended is a petticoat (we suggest a corded petticoat for ease of movement).

A garment you will always have a use for. The styling allows the dress to adjust to your chosen persona. This garment will serve you well—money well spent. All in all a great addition to your reenacting wardrobe.

Dress to Impress: Sharp, Tailored Fit, Quality Material, and Sizing Tips
Size: X-Small, Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Small, Color: Navy Blue
This review is for the LUPURTY Men's Suits Slim Fit, 3 Piece Suits for Men, 2 Buttons Solid Jacket Vest Pants, Tuxedo Set (XS navy blue and black sets). I bought the XS knowing my son's measurements were actually below the size guide for that size, but I'm glad I did because it still worked out. The suit was a bit big—especially in the pants, which were quite long, and slightly roomy in the shoulders and arms—but it still looked sharp and well put-together. The overall fit has a clean, tailored appearance despite the extra room. The material feels high-quality and the color is true to what’s shown online. I do wish the black suit came with a black or gray tie instead of blue, which didn’t quite match. The suit in the photos is the navy blue set that my son wore to his 8th grade graduation, which matched their school colors perfectly. I also included my son’s measurements to help others with sizing: Weight 114 lbs Height 5'3" Chest 30.5" Waist 29" Hip 35" Sleeve length 21.5" Shoulder 17" Inseam 29" Back length 18.5"

Sharp and Expensive Quality Tuxedo for special events!!
Size: Small, Color: Black
I researched for several tuxedos for my son's prom, we chose this one, and I'm very glad that we did! The fit is nice, the durability is great. Very classy looking! The quality is really surprising for this price, it looks like a $200 dollar suit. My son is very picky and was very pleased with this tuxedo. The seams are very good and all the buttons are correct. We did receive the tie and everything that was supposed to be with it as I know reviews were saying they didn't get certain things but we did. I really like the adjustable waste because my son is very slim, but tall and has a long torso. This Tuxedo allowed him to be super excited that we have everything we need for his first prom! True to color as we purchased the black and it is sharp!

Impressive suit for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
Order suit in my normal size (44R) and it fit perfectly. I’m 6’1” and the pant length set at the correct level. Quality fabric and stitching is well finished. Pants are comfortable at the waist with enough flex to be forgiving. Very good deal for the price…suit, vest and tie.

Great for tall, slender teenager!
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey, Size: Small, Color: Light Grey
Finding a suit for a tall, slender teenage boy is about as hard as climbing Mt. Everest. Until I found this one!! I was so pleasantly surprised that this suit fit my 15 year old son like a glove. He is 5'10'' and 140 lbs so he needs pants with the proper length and smaller waist. While the waist was slightly big, he didn't need a belt and the pants fell perfectly with a pair of Nike tennis shoes. I ordered a size small and would say the pants were a 32x32 but waist was probably more like a 31. Jacket and vest were a great fit as well. High quality and easy to steam to get the shipping wrinkles out.

Fantastic suite for the price!
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I purchased the gray version to evaluate the suit. I ordered a size up based on other reviews and was pleased to discover everything fit well. The jacket fit well around the arms, chest, shoulders, and even my seemingly ever-growing gut. The vest was the same. The pants also fit well around the waist (thanks to the expanding waistband) butt, and thighs. The only problem was the pants were about 2 sizes too long. Considering the price point, I was felt I was still way ahead after paying to have them altered. After a couple week's worth of wear, I purchased 4 more (gray, black, blue and tan). All fit the same way and were easily altered too. The tailor even had the cashier ask me where I purchased these as he was impressed with the quality. A couple months in and I'm still pleased, although I've had a few issues. My right pocket on my blue pair has ripped it's seam twice, as has the same pocket on one of my gray pair. Considering it's the same pocket, I would suspect I am just heavy handed but this is not a common problem with any of my other clothes. The pants are a bit on the tighter side when I am sitting down so perhaps the stitching is just not strong enough. I have asked the tailor to give me a super stitch in this area and am just about to pick up the gray pair with this new stitch. I'll try to remember to update later on. Overall, I feel I have really gotten my money's worth out of these suits, especially considering the prices of others. I have been wearing these daily since June and have gotten many compliments.
