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.

Teens Era Wedding Gown
From the seller:
Soft silk satin 1915 bridal tabard or tunic -- it's a top only with a lace panel skirt that's open on the sides. The front satin wraps over a lace under-bodice that's edged with a ruffle and large pearl beads. The glass pearl bead trim also edges the back, sleeves, and layered scarves on the sides. On the upper bodice back, the pearls are on the right and two snaps are on the left. The skirt front and back is made of panels of French lace that has splits in it. The back panel is lined in a layer of tulle and has old repairs. I show it over a Victorian silk skirt (sold separately) so you can see how it looks paired with a wedding skirt. I'm asking less than what I paid for this many years ago.
Measurements:
Bust: 36"
Waist: 27"
Length: 43"
