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.

White Beaded Late Edwardian Early 1920's Shoes!
From the seller:
A fancy pair of 1912-1920 ivory satin beaded shoes. The label inside the shoes reads Marshall Field & CO. Chicago. The fronts are decorated with tiny seed pearls and milk glass beads. They gave a 2 ½ inch heels. They are lined with kid leather. The shoes are in good display condition. There is fraying on the back of one heel and one toe and scattered light soiling. There is one missing milk glass bead on one shoe. Length 10 ½ Width 3 inches. Estimated size 6-61/2.
From Me:
Why don't they make shoes like this any more?
