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.

Colorful 1840's Summer Dress
From the seller:
A ladies 19THC bodice and skirt... a beautiful pattern on this fabric.. unfortunately the fabric does have damage.The fabric seems to be a wool challis.
Wishing all my customers well wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year.
We will be listing some very nice laces, clothing etc. that we purchased in our recent travels.
Thanks as always for looking.
From Me:
Based on the slope of the shoulders, the front rouching, and the sleeves, I'm thinking late 1840's for this beauty. I really wish there were more pictures given how unusual a print this is.
