This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

1870's Bustle Summer Skirt
From the seller:
A charming original circa 1870 lady's snow white muslin petticoat that is decorated with hand made Broderie Anglaise in a fine boteh design. A cartridge pleated waistband with a shell button back closure, and shown over a white foundation. A 26" waist and 36" from waist to front hem. In very nice clean sound condition, with just a few pin dot age flaws and a few extremely light perspiration marks. A beautiful piece of 19th century needle art.
