When Calls the Heart is a moving drama set in the Canadian frontier during the early 1900s. The show follows Elizabeth Thatcher’s journey as a young teacher in a small prairie town, finding love, heartbreak, and deep friendships in the tight-knit town of Hope Valley.
I have carefully selected merchandise that is inspired by the era, lifestyle, fashion, literature, and enjoyable pastimes depicted in When Calls the Heart, a show that I deeply admire.

Fashion plays a major role in the lives of the people of Hope Valley. The residents put their heart and soul into sewing and creating dresses and skirts that are not only stylish but also incredibly picturesque. Personally, I am absolutely smitten by the Mountie uniform. And let’s not forget about the men’s clothes, which are undeniably handsome.
The characters in When Calls the Heart always keep up with the latest fashion trends in Dottie’s dress shop.
The majority of the dresses are in neutral beige shades, with occasional accents of naturally dyed fabrics.
The women in Hope Valley all wear long, high-waisted skirts.
