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.

Romatic Era Petticoat
From the seller:
A rare 1830 cotton petticoat that has been de-accessioned from a major New York City museum collection. The hemline is decorated with cut work flowers that have inserts of sheer gauze. The petticoat is all hand stitched. It has a drawstring waist. The petticoat is in good condition. As can been seen in the photos some of the gauze fabric is missing on some of the petals. Adjustable waist Length 37.
