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.

1830's Bodice
From the seller:
A rare and magnificent 1830’s cotton bodice. The bodice is all hand stitched. The bodice has huge gigot style sleeve. The front bust line has gathered pleating that is outlined with ruffles. The neck, armscyes and shoulders are piped. The inner seam on the sleeve and the sleeve cuffs are also piped. The sleeve cuffs have a hook and eye closure. The bodice is lined with linen and has a brass hook and eye back closure. The bodice is in excellent condition. There are no holes. A wonderful treasure for the serious collector of early garments. Bust 30 Waist 22.
From Me:
That front is...trying too hard. Sorry, I normally love anything before 1840 but....yeah.
