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.

Brown Bustle Dress
From the seller:
This is a pretty cotton Victorian top slip and skirt. The waist is 27" and across the shoulders are 18" and across the bust is 34" . There is one repair at one of the button holes and two stains that I believe can be washed out. You can see from the photos on the front of the jacket. Other than that the integrity of the fabric is very good.
From Me:
I really wish there were more pictures of this dress. I'm guessing this is 1870's, rather than 1880's. The bow detail on the front is just too cute!
