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.

Burgundy Lace 1920's/Early 30's Dress
From the seller:
Original lace dress from the 1910-20's is in very good condition, the lace is for the must part intact, only under the armpits and on the back of the neck the lace has overstretched and looks like holes, there are a few on the left armpit and one of the left, they are easy to repair, the rest of the lace is intact,
low waist the style is like a transition dress from the 10 in to the 20's
it doesn't have any tags. I don't know what kind of lace it is, is all hand in an old sewing machine
the size is large 12-14, or is an over sized dress, I don't have the slip that probably came with it
sold in AS IS condition
MEASURMENTS:
from shoulder to shoulder seam is 19"
across the chest from armpit to armpit is 23" across
22" at the waist
free hips up to 32" wide
the skirt is all made of single panels
the sleeves are 26" long
inseam pockets
sleeves are 23" long
and is 46" long
From Me:
I'm thinking late 20's on this one. I'd love to see a cream slip beneath this!

I agree, late 1920s. Right by 1930, and possibly in 1929, a waist seam, often accentuated by a very narrow belt, is everywhere. Still no hips, but a waist! :)
