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.

1920's White and Black with Pink Bow Dress
From the seller:
ANTIQUE 1920s SILK FLAPPER DRESS
Up for auction is this simply stunning antique 1920s flapper dress! This silk dress absolutely epitomizes the free wheelin' flapper days of the 1920s. This silk dress is neatly adorned with rhinestones throughout! This dress also features a hand sewn ecru lace neckline and bow!! This dress is fully lined with a tan slip that creates the wonderful visual effects you see in the pictures! The bottom hem of this dress is also elegantly scalloped! Truly a rare relic from the roaring twenties that is in incredible vintage condition!
This dress measures 18" from side to side at the armpit and 17 1/2" side to side at the waist. The length from the back collar to bottom hem is 38" to 40" depending on where you measure to on the scalloped bottom. The bottom hem when laid out flat measures 34 1/2" from side to side.
From Me:
I think I want to remake this dress. It's so very cool looking!
