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.

Puffy Sleeves!
From the seller:
Bodice With Massive Puff Sleeves For Study
This bodice dates to the Victorian 19th century and is fashioned of a moire pattern silk, cut with massive puff sleeves at the top shoulder with a fitted sleeve at the bottom having a turned up cuff trimmed in velvet with a beaded edge. This bodice is sold as found, heavy repairs are seen to the sleeves with splitting seen to the silk. This would be a great piece to pattern, sold as found, reflective of the condition. Measures 32 inches around the bust, 22 inches around the waist, and 18 inches in length.

The items HAVE NOT been cleaned and should be cleaned prior to wearing at the discretion of the buyer.

Vintage clothing is most often worn previously, and if old stock, often has slight imperfections from storage, a hint of color or odor. hr>

From Me:
Hello New People!
I'm sorry this is late today. It is very much an 1890's bodice.
