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.

Titanic Era Dinner Dress
From the seller:
Antique Victorian Satin Lace 1890s Wedding Dress. Very old original Victorian era wedding dress, just delightful and enchanting, made of a satin like material and lace with glass beads and fringe. The condition is fair to good, well over 100 years old, the color looks OK, it is a creamy satin color, there is a tear under the arm, few spots but not many, and there is some fraying in the satin in a couple places, so the condition is Fair to good, more on the fair side. The dress is a nice large size, it looks to be about 7/8, it measures about 58" long and the waist is about 32". Amazing antique dress, not often seen! A must have for your collection! Thanks For Looking!
From Me:
.....Not Victorian. Not 1890's. And most likely not for a wedding. This is a wonderful example of the early teens. Look at that fringe!
