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.

From Me:
I'd say this is actually Edwardian. It's early but probably the 1900's. The buttons on the skirt are done in a more Edwardian style and the pigeon blouse was more popular at the Turn of the Century. A very neat set!
