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 Teens Dinner Dress
From the seller:
This beautiful dress is in good condition, but it's very fragile. It is missing some beads, has some minor spots, and a few minor tears to both the lace and the satin. There are snaps in back and the center back is torn on the seam. The dress has no labels or tags, but has the following measurements: 18" shoulders, 10" sleeves, 36" bust, 26" waist, 36" hip, and measures 52" long in front and 76" long in back. The back has a bow and loop which I think is intended for the wrist. Please see my photos for further details.
From Me:
My best guess is that this lovely is from about 1918.
