At Historic Clothing Store, we believe the magic of historical costuming begins the moment you start imagining your transformation—and we’re dedicated to making that journey seamless from our Melbourne boutique to your home. Just as we’ve meticulously recreated the elegance of 1920s flapper dresses and the vibrant spirit of 1970s disco outfits, we’ve crafted a delivery experience that reflects our commitment to quality, reliability, and the nostalgic charm of eras past.

Our Promise: To ensure your carefully chosen costume arrives with the same care and authenticity we pour into every stitch, ready to create unforgettable memories wherever you are in the world.

Global Shipping with a Personal Touch

Though we ship internationally (excluding some remote areas in Asia and elsewhere), we maintain the personalised service and attention to detail that defined our humble Melbourne beginnings. Whether you’re dressing for a theatre production in London or a themed party in New York, we treat every order as if it were destined for our local community.

The Journey of Your Historical Treasure

  2. Dispatch: We provide tracking information the moment your era-spanning creation begins its journey.
  3. Delivery: Your costume arrives ready to transport you to another time, complete with care instructions to preserve its historical integrity.

Our Satisfaction Guarantee

Worldwide Payment Options: We accept Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal—secure payment methods that span the globe as widely as our costumes span the decades.

At Historic Clothing Store, we don’t just deliver costumes—we deliver opportunities to become part of history. However you choose to travel through time with us, we’re here to ensure your journey is as smooth as a silk flapper dress and as reliable as a well-tailored Victorian coat.
