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.

Edwardian Eyelet Blouse
From the seller:
This blouse dates to the Edwardian era and is fashioned of a beautiful large holed machine made eyelet with rich stitched scalloped edging. The front of the bodice is ruched in the center and trimmed with three French knot buttons, French knot buttons completely close the entire rear of the piece. The piece is pristine and freshly laundered, I suspect it may have been part of a gown but the skirting is cleanly removed. Measures 36 inches around the bust for the full Edwardian look, 26 inches around the waist, and 15 inches in its length.
Vintage clothing is described to its best and sold as found…and described as accurately as possible. The items HAVE NOT been cleaned and should be cleaned prior to wearing at the discretion of the buyer. Often for proper fit, hang, and wear ability, pieces will need to be altered and/or adding a hook or snap here or there, with a seam closure or strengthening needed. Vintage clothing is most often worn previously, and if old stock, often has slight imperfections from storage, a hint of color or odor
From Me:
The butterfly front is completely fabulous.
