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.

Cutest Ante Bellum Child's Dress
From the seller:
This gorgeous antique dress is Antique Victorian era and is entirely fashioned of white colored cotton. The little girls pinafore dress has pin tucks going all across the bodice. The waist of the dress has floral embroidery going around it. It buttons and snaps in the back. Condition is good to age. The skirting of the dress has a few very tiny pinholes. The little girls pinafore dress measures 13"W shoulder to shoulder, the neckline measures 24" going around, The waist line measures 18" going around. The length of the dress measures 20"L.
From Me:
Based on the neckline, I'm guessing this is from about the 1850's.
