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.

Early 1900's Summer Gown
From the seller:
A romantic 1890-1900 white batiste cotton two piece dress. The bodice has a lace yoke and wide bertha style collar that is trimmed with ivory satin lace. The bodice is unlined and has a back hook and eye and button closure. The skirt is trimmed with row upon row of ivory satin ribbon. It has a long back train. The dress is being displayed over a petticoat that is not included. The dress is in good and sturdy condition. The sleeves have a couple of pea size holes, small period mends and one 2 inch period mend on one sleeve. The skirt has one dime size hole, a couple of small period mends near the waist band and a 4 inch period mend on the back train area. A very pretty display dress. Bust 35 Waist 27 Front skirt length 39 back length 49.
From Me:
Although the seller claims 1890's, the sleeves are actually early 1900's. This style was very popular around 1903.
