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.

Late Teen/ Early 20's over dress
From the seller:
This vintage Art Deco black purple sequin beaded net flapper tunic dress dates from the 1920s. It is made of a sheer fine black net, with hand beaded black and purple sequins done in a Art Deco abstract floral vine leaf pattern design. This fabulous flapper tunic overdress is loose fitting, with open sides and a matching decorated front and back panel. It is a one size fits most and was meant to be worn over a simple silk slip dress. The dress measures 43 inches long and each panel is 18 inches wide. It is in excellent wearable condition, with no holes or repairs. This is a wonderful piece of wearable Art Deco textile art!
From Me:
I think this is slightly earlier, around 1918 to 1922. It's a wonderful overdress.
