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.

Edwardian Nautical Inspired Outfit
From the seller:
I am a seaside girl at heart, and I have loved having vintage nautical clothing in my collection. I hope you love these as much as I do.
In this auction, you are bidding on a vintage Edwardian seaside dress fashioned of a lightweight cotton with navy and white stripes with accents of navy polka dots on white ground with navy cotton covered buttons.
Great design as well. Faux over jacket cinched in the back with polka dot belt cinching in the front.
Label: None
measures (all items are measured flat in inches + doubled):
Measures:
bust: 38 waist: 40 hips: full length: 50
Has not been cleaned.
From Me:
This is so cute! Definitely a summer "play" outfit and most likely meant for the seaside. My guess is about 1912 or around there given the sleeves and the details on the bodice.
