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.

1860's Sweet Looking Bodice
From the seller:
A charming pink and white stripe 1860’s challis bodice that is being offered for study or pattern. The sleeves have wide flared cuffs that are decorated with pleated ruffles of the same fabric. It has a front button closure and is lined with cotton. The buttons are made of silk and covered with a layer of lace. The neck, armscyes and waist are piped. The bodice has scattered stress breaks in the challis fabric and there is some discoloration on a few of the buttons. Bust 34 Waist 26.
From Me:
It's pink! :-D Actually, I think it's the ruffles on the cuffs that did me in on this one.
