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.

Frilly Lace Cap
From the seller:
An extremely pretty 19th century ladies muslin and lace bonnet with original pink ribbon threaded through with a bow each side.
Lots of frills and pleating with various laces. The colour is cream. I can see no evidence that there were ever any ties.
Condition: Very good.
Measurement: 9" from brim edge to crown. This is definately a ladies bonnet, so too large for use on a doll.
From Me:
I think this is late Victorian if not an early Edwardian. Very feminine! This, of course, was only worn at night.
