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.

Blue and Gold Bustle Era Skirt
From the seller:
This antique Victorian era girls blue and yellow silk plaid pleated bustle skirt dates from 1880. It is made of a bright royal blue color and creamy yellow silk taffeta fabric, with a graphic plaid pattern. There is a finely pleated solid blue front panel and hidden bottom side skirt pleated panels. This beautiful bustle skirt would have been worn by a young miss teenage girl. It is a mid tea length, with a bustle back, draping long train skirt panel back, plaid patch pocket accent, fully lined, with brass hook & eyes for closure. The skirt measures 33 inches long, with 40 inch hips and a 24 inch waist. It is in excellent wearable condition.
