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.

Beautifully Beaded Bodice
From the seller:
BEAUTIFUL VICTORIAN FRENCH VISITING VEST
Purple color. Satin fabric. Jet beads and pearls ornaments on front and at the end of sleeves
Waist 28", bust 35"
Condition is good but there are underarms marks inside on lining non mark outside
From Me:
Based on the slight tale, the raised neckline, the overall shape of the sleeves, and the beading detail, I'm thinking 1880's for this one.
