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.

From Me:
Posting will be sporadic this week, I apologize. I'm trying to get my desktop in working condition (it's almost there!) and I'm trying to find a permanent desk at work now that I've switched to a new team. Next week, when I have my own desk and my home computer is full functional again, I'll be able to post more.
