Civil War era fashion
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2026 2:53 pm
My favorite clothing style is the mid-19th century Civil War era. I like b-i-g skirts. Anyway, my previous supplier of such items (recollections.biz) has apparently gone out of business, so I am looking for another supplier. In my search, I found C&C Sutlery whose "Ladies' Clothing Home Page" can be found at https://www.ccsutlery.com/store/ladies- ... thing.html.
Does anyone know of any other suppliers of clothing of this style or from this era (modern reproductions, of course)?
I am not a Civil War re-enacter, just like the fashion of that era. Also, it fits my body type better than anything else. Explanation; I had a colostomy a few years' back and the resultant stoma protrudes quite a bit, making it difficult to impossible to wear "normal" styles. A skirt which can be fastened above the stoma, and therefore above the normal waist, and hangs down over it as perfect as possible. Plus, it suits my preferences.
