Peggy's Victorian Corner was born out of the resurgence of interest in Victorian Era and the costumed re-enactments and re-creations that were becoming an integral part of a number of festivals in the U-S and other countries around the world. The Victorian Era was a time when women, and the dresses they wore, were elegant. And the men, attired in morning coats adorned with vests, ascots, and top hats, were always in a gentlemanly manner or character.
With modern updated fabrics, whose patterns mimic the designs of the Victorian Era... add the accessories that include a Reticule (small hand sewn handbag), Gloves, Fans, and Jewelry to compliment the dresses, The Victorian Corner in Galveston creates magical moments for every woman who has ever dreamed of having lived and played during the Victorian Era. Just ask anyone who has worn a costume from The Victorian Corner? They'll tell you what it's really like to wear a Peggy Wardell original.
Dresses from The Victorian Corner are made for today's woman, who has comfort in mind. Unless requested, corsets are no longer required . Instead, zippers are artistically hidden by the myriad of colorful lace Peggy uses to bring out the finest qualities of the dress and the person wearing it. Every Victorian Corner dress highlights the most elegant attributes of a woman wearing it. In them, compliments abound for the woman from friends and strangers, who are also dressed in period attire as part of your magical journey back in time.
From Galveston's "Dickens on the Strand" to Dickens' Festivals in London, England, to Grande Victorian Balls in Texas, Colorado, Mississippi, and Virginia, Peggy's Victorian Corner has worked its magic for festivals participants on both sides of the Atlantic (the Big Pond).
Each dress is an original design, custom made and altered to fit. Some fashions are kept on hand.
Please, take a look at the dresses and hats. And, imagine wearing them!
You can fulfill a fantasy at Peggy's Victorian Corner.

We have a ball here in Brazoria once a year for 5 years I have wore her dresses - each year they have been a big hit at the ball ! |
