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.

Late 18th century brown gown
From the seller:
A rare opportunity to have a authentic XVIIIth dress
This dress is date at the end of the XVIIIth aronde 1790/1792 is made in a very lovely satin in very good condition
She is in to parts
The bodice linen in lin and not remind
The skirt is probably remind at the XIXth but in very good condition a large meters of fabric
From Me:
Based on the stitching lines along the back of the bodice, my guess is this an older gown remade into the newer style during the early 1790's or even the late 1780's. Based on the neckline and the way the sleeves are, this gown *could* be as early as mid 18th century.
