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.

1890's Brown Walking Outfit
From the seller:
This beige with lace victorian dress is in great condition !
33-26-33 length-45
From Me:
A seller of little word! :-) However, they did give us the measurements which is far more than many sellers. This is a 1890's walking outfit. The puffy sleeves are very indicative of the late Victorian period. The skirts became simple (as compared to the bustle period) and the details were mostly in the bodice. The closure seen here will continue well into the Edwardian period.
