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.

1890's Summer Dress
From the seller:
A charming 1895 cotton print dress that has been de-accessioned from a major New York City museum collection.. The fabric has a black pattern on a white background. The bodice has full leg of mutton styled sleeves and a wide ruffle that encircles the shoulders. The bodice is trimmed with black velvet inserts. It is unlined and has a front button closure. The skirt has a ruffled hemline and is unlined. The dress is in very good and clean condition. There are two dime size holes in the skirt. Bust 33 Waist 23 Skirt length 40.
From Me:
It's so easy to spot an 1890's outfit...
