Here's some more authentic items I found at a very lovely web site called http://www.vintagetextile.com

A boy's suit c. 1870

This jacket is really amazing. I love how the chantilly falls over a relatively structured sleeve.

c. 1893 made by the House of Worth(those who are aware,know this house was perhaps the most famous of that period)

^ those are simply beautiful, scott, especially the child's outfit. I love those colours and the stitching. vintagetextile is a great site, thanks for sharing it here

That's my fave as well It's amazing the craftsmanship even in children's clothes. The tailoring is something one might only see in an adult's garmet. If that look were transformed in a different variation with the shirt,I would so do it myself!

You're welcome

All of those authenticly victorian and edwardian pieces are amazing.

for those who are unsure about trying this look and don't want to spend too much money, h&m actually has some cheap&cheerful victorian and edwardian inspired things at the moment, including a beautiful black chiffon/black velvet empire waisted dress that is terribly edwardian...sadly it fit me a bit funny but I think it'd be beautiful on someone else.
